Ian Krouse

Ian Krouse is one of the foremost American composers working today. Born in 1956 in Olney, Maryland, he was hailed in Gramophone as “one of the most communicative and intriguing young composers on the music scene today”. Soundboard describes his music as “absorbing, brutal, beautiful, and harsh, all at the same time.”

Lark Musical Society embarked on a journey to bring 100 events to the community in commemoration of the 100th Anniversary of the Armenian Genocide as a call for action to all survivors of genocide to tell their story and re-create civilized communities and become beacons for truth and justice.
