has abstract	Maro Ajemian (* 9. Juli 1921 in Genf, Schweiz; † 18. September 1978 in den USA) war eine amerikanische Pianistin armenischer Herkunft. Sie war Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts eine wichtige Verfechterin der zeitgenössischen Musik, nicht nur als Solistin, sondern auch zusammen mit ihrer Schwester der Violinistin Anahid Ajemian. (de) Maro Ajemian (July 9, 1921 – September 18, 1978) was an American pianist. Ajemian's career in contemporary music grew from her Armenian heritage. She became known as a contemporary pianist after performing the U.S. premiere of Aram Khachaturian's Piano Concerto, which she chose to play based on their shared Armenian heritage. Ajemian studied at the Juilliard School of Music. On March 14, 1942, she gave the American premiere of Aram Khachaturian's Piano Concerto in D flat with the Juilliard Graduate Orchestra under Albert Stoessel. She later performed the piece on a cross-country tour. Following her performances of the Piano Concerto, Ajemian began meeting contemporary composers and, together with her sister, the violinist Anahid Ajemian, she became known as a champion of new music, presenting the premieres of many new works by American composers. Among these were John Cage, Alan Hovhaness, Henry Cowell, Ernst Krenek, Lou Harrison, and Gunther Schuller. Cage dedicated his Sonatas and Interludes to her and she made the first recording of them for Dial Records in 1951. Ajemian was particularly fond of the music of Hovhaness, a fellow Armenian American, and co-founded a New York City-based organization, the Friends of Armenian Music Committee, which promoted his music during the 1940s, presenting annual concerts in such high-profile venues as Town Hall. These concerts were well reviewed by such critics as Lou Harrison, Virgil Thomson, and Olin Downes, and served to launch Hovhaness into the national spotlight. She died of heart valve failure at the age of 57. (en) Maro Ajemian (9 juillet 1921 - 18 septembre 1978) est une pianiste américaine d'origine arménienne.

Elle affectionnait particulièrement la musique de Hovhaness (un Arménien-Américain comme elle), et cofonda une association à New York, les Amis de la musique arménienne, qui organisait des concerts, par exemple à Town Hall. Ces concerts étaient appréciés de critiques tels que Lou Harrison, Virgil Thomson, et Olin Downes, et lancèrent la carrière de Hovhaness en le propulsant dans un cercle de lumière d'envergure nationale.
