As a first generation Armenian-American and having come from a family directly affected by the Lebanese Civil War and Armenian Genocide, she uses a sonic palette that draws on her heritage, interest in music as documentary, and background in experimental composition to progressively blend the old with the new.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tPeony (2019), for solo flute and electronics, was commissioned by the National Flute Association for the 2019 High School Soloist Competition - joining works such as Pattillo's Three Beats, Coleman's Fanmi Imen, and Dick's Lookout.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tPeony itself is a celebration of life after loss.
