MUSIC IS LIFE!! GULTAS!

About Me


"If a composer could say what he had to say in words he would not bother trying to say it in music." ~Gustav Mahler
GREG HOSHARIAN: ’BIO’
Born into a musical family, Greg Hosharian started playing the piano before the age of five. His father Edward Hosharian, a gifted composer and the conductor of the Los Angeles-based Armenian Philharmonic Orchestra, was his first music teacher. As a teenager, Greg composed his own music and won piano competitions and scholarships by playing classical selections and his own works.
After grade school, Greg entered the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts. Over the next four years, he began to experiment with different styles of music and instruments. Greg worked with a variety of musicians and later formed his own bands (Vendetta, Hosharian Brothers, Greatest Hits)
After high school, Greg entered the California Institute of the Arts where he earned a Bachelors degree in Composition in 2001. In 2004 he received the Masters degree in Composition and Orchestration from the California State University, Northridge.
In 2007 Greg joined Progressive rock band “Redemption” as keyboardist and will be opening on tour with the legendary band “Dream Theater” in July and August 2007 across North America. At the present time Greg is engaged in composing Film/TV soundtracks, performing, orchestrating, conducting, teaching and recording.
