Luise Vosgerchian (November 9, 1922 – March 13, 2000)[1] was an American concert pianist and music professor at Harvard University.
Her mother, Araxy Kurkjian, had immediate family who perished in the Armenian genocide.
Several years later, when she prepared to play her debut recital, she noticed a misprint in the program about her name.
[4] Among her most notable students were Allison Charney, John Adams, Yo-Yo Ma, Bobby McFerrin, Bob Telson, Stephen Pruslin and Richard St. Clair.
[5] Physicist Brian Greene described Vosgerchian in Until the End of Time as one of his most influential teachers, noting she "had a deep interest in how scientific discoveries relate to aesthetic sensibilities".
