    Greg Hosharian with the Montebello City Council

    MONTEBELLO, Calif.--On April 9th, the Montebello City Council
    presented a Proclamation to musician, conductor and resident Gregory
    Hosharian for his successful symphonic concert event to benefit the
    "Edward Hosharian Scholarship Fund." The concert included works by
    some of history's most revered composers, and featured an orchestral
    arrangement of traditional folk melodies from the Armenian Highlands.

    Also featured was the inspiring voice of soloist mezzo-soprano Talin
    Nalbandian, a recipient of the Edward Hosharian Fund Scholarship.

    Trumpeter, Tom Woo, performed the prolific Alexander Arutiunian
    Trumpet Concerto in A-Flat Major.

    During his presentation to his childhood friend, Montebello Mayor
    Pro-Tem Jack Hadjinian stated, "Greg and I go back to the days
    of diapers, years later we started college together, then of
    course he continued his education to earn a Master's Degree in
    Music Composition. Greg has an enormous amount of talent, but what
    impresses me most is the fact that he is putting his talent to good
    use by honoring his father's legacy with a scholarship fund to help
    the less fortunate attend music schools."

    Hadjinian also stated that as community leaders "we must promote the
    arts, because that's the only way some people can express themselves."

    Greg Hosharian was born and raised in Montebello, began playing piano
    at the age of four, when his father became his first music teacher. He
    holds a bachelor's degree in composition from the California Institute
    of the Arts and a master's degree in composition and orchestration
    from California State University, Northridge. He is active in
    orchestration and teaching, in addition to composing soundtracks for
    film, television, animation and video-game projects. Hosharian has
    also formed three bands of his own: Vendetta, Hosharian Brothers Band
    and Armenian Space Station. In 2009 Armenian Space Station performed
    to an enthusiastic audience in Yerevan, Armenia. As keyboardist for
    Redemption, Greg has toured Europe and North America.
