Anahid Marguerite Ajemian (January 26, 1924 – June 13, 2016)[1] was an American violinist of Armenian descent. Her career in contemporary music began from her desire to help young composers of her generation get their compositions performed.[2] Additionally, she enjoyed performing the music of established contemporary composers. She included these composers with the traditional repertoire in her performances.
