Pianist Karen Tchougourian returns to EPOCH
Talented pianist Karen Tchougourian will perform at EPOCH Assisted Living at Melbourne on Friday, Oct. 13, at 6:30 p.m. Although his repertoire includes enough classical and contemporary music to fill several anthologies, Tchougourian regularly performs at EPOCH without sheet music, and he happily obliges for special requests. EPOCH Assisted Living is located at 140 Melbourne Road.
Tchougourian studied at the Komitas University in Armenia and the University of Arkansas. He received his Doctor of Musical Arts from the Manhattan School of Music and has won many performance competitions, including the 1999 Artists International Auditions. As the winner, Tchougourian made a fully sponsored debut at Carnegie Hall. Tchougourian will perform a full range of music from classical to movie scores, jazz and waltzes.
Located at 140 Melbourne Road, for 10 years EPOCH Assisted Living at Melbourne has provided both traditional assisted living and BRIDGES®, a special program for individuals with memory-related challenges. This community is part of EPOCH Senior Living, a regional provider of senior living and health care options.
