LEVON AQUARTET
Levon was born in Switzerland. He was raised there and learned the vibes at the age of 7. Then he flew to New York City to the great New School University where he learned some other percussion. Some great musicians such as Chico Freeman, Jimmy Scott or Loren Schoenberg hired him. He had the opportunity to play with Candido and Giovanni Hidalgo.
Later Levon went to Western Africa to get in touch with traditional percussion. He now lives in Switzerland where he perfomed recently with his brother Gregoire Maret (harmonicist) and MARCUS MILLER. Apart from that he performs very often with a lot of different projects. Levon is leading 3 of them. Levon is a soloist with the new PIANOSEVEN show. The first concert took place @ Montreux' Stravinsky in November. Then touring in Asia. Levon is preparing his first one man show as well. He has earned 3 prizes including the Marescotti Foundation Grant and the PatiÃ±o Foundation Grant
