A fellow in Carnegie Hall’s Ensemble Connect for the 2025-2027 seasons, Anoush is based in New York City where she is also pursuing her Artist Diploma at Juilliard under the tutelage of Anthony McGill and Alan R. Kay. She was recently featured on a WQXR Young Artist Showcase as recipient of the 2025 Robert Sherman Award for Music Education and Community Outreach for “Komitas and Friends: Armenian Folk Music, Then and Now,” an ongoing cultural exchange project to commission, record, and perform works for clarinet each based on different collected Armenian folk songs. ​A 2020 U.S. Presidential Scholar in the Arts, Anoush is also a proud recipient of recent scholarships and awards from the Armenian General Benevolent Union, Armenian Educational Foundation, the Music Center Spotlight Competition, and the Ryoichi Sasakawa Young Leaders Fellowship.

A fervent advocate of new music, Anoush has recently worked closely with leading composers including Jörg Widmann, Reena Esmail, Jessie Montgomery, Brett Dean, Hilda Paredes, Ian Krouse, Timo Andres, to name a few, as well as several peer composers at Juilliard and various festivals in chamber and solo settings. She has performed at chamber music festivals include Yellow Barn, Skaneateles, Norfolk, Chamber Music Lehigh Valley, Sebago-Long Lake, and Apple Hill Center for Chamber Music, and with groups including Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, Westside Chamber Players, Washington Heights Chamber Orchestra, and Riverside Symphony. In recent chamber music performances, she has played alongside artists including Kim Kashkashian, Shai Wosner, Natasha Brofsky, Hsin-Yun Huang, Anthony Marwood, Lucy Shelton, and members of the Brentano and Katarina String Quartets.

Anoush is on the clarinet faculty of Juilliard’s Music Advancement Program, a tuition-free Saturday program in the Preparatory Division for intermediate to advanced young musicians. Through her Ensemble Connect fellowship, Anoush is also currently a partner teacher at I.S. 78 Roy H. Mann Middle School in Brooklyn. During her time working in Juilliard’s Office of Community Engagement, Anoush taught in public school music classrooms across NYC as a Morse Teaching Artist Fellow, and was the clarinet teaching fellow in the Music Advancement Program.

Through performance and teaching, Anoush prioritizes exploring new, meaningful ways of connecting with others through music. She is a performer and teaching artist on the roster of Project Music Heals Us in their Music for the Future program, which brings music performance and composition programs to incarcerated facilities across the United States. She also performs and volunteers regularly with Music for Food in their NYC and LA chapters, directly raising funds and food sources for local food shelters and meal services.

Anoush received her Masters Degree at The Juilliard School with Alan R. Kay, and also holds an undergraduate degree in Psychology with honors from Columbia University through the Columbia/Juilliard dual-degree program. Previously, Anoush studied with Michael Yoshimi at the Colburn Community School of Performing Arts, where she was a member of the Ed and Mari Edelman Honors Chamber Music Institute, as well as with Michele Zukovsky. In her spare time, she loves to go on long walks, experiment with coffee, and play/sing Lieder very slowly (and poorly) at the piano.
