			---------------------
			River Guerguerian has been inspiring audiences with his ecstatic and versatile percussion for over 30
			years. Whether playing with world-class symphonies or studio musicians, partnering with Grammy-award
			winning composers, or creating dynamic plays of rhythm for his own projects, River’s passion and attention
			to the vibrant life of the drum reverberates throughout the crowd.


			Born in Canada of Armenian-Egyptian extraction, River’s successful and prolific career started at an early
			age. In 1989, he received his Bachelor of Music from the Manhattan School of Music Conservatory and
			graduated with the school’s award for Most Outstanding Percussionist.
			In 1988, he began creating works with Grammy and Oscar-winning composer, Tan Dun. Over the next
			several years he continued to tour with other artists performing in concert halls in Tokyo, Moscow, Rome,
			Berlin, Hong Kong, Barcelona, Jerusalem, Athens, Istanbul, London, including such renowned venues as
			Carnegie Hall, Sydney Opera House, and Lincoln Center.


			In 1994, River sold all his possessions, left civilization for five years, and lived in a wildlife sanctuary in the
			Himalayas. An immersion in nature initiated intense research and experimentation into the physiological
			effect of sound on brainwave states. River continued his investigations into trance-inducing
			instrumentation as he traveled to different cultures learning unique methods and techniques.
			Drawing on this diverse background, River plays all genres of music pulling original sound from Frame
			Drums, Middle Eastern and Afro-Cuban percussion, Drumset, Marimba, Tabla, Kanjira, Cajon, Gongs,
			Singing Bowls, Loopers, and various found objects. His compositions have been commissioned and
			performed by chamber ensembles, universities, modern dance companies, and new music festivals.
			As a studio musician, he has recorded on over 150 albums and film soundtracks, including the John Cage
			documentary film, “I Have Nothing to Say and I Am Saying It”. He has performed and/or recorded with
			such groups as the BBC Symphony Orchestra, New Music Consort, Tibetan Singing Bowl Ensemble, Paul
			Winter Consort, Talujon Percussion Ensemble, Chuck Berry, Sophie B. Hawkins, and Ziggy Marley/Gipsy
			Kings. He also records percussion tracks for artists at his own recording studio.


			A respected music educator, River is Music Director for Odyssey Community School’s Creative
			Technology & Arts Center. He conducts “rhythm and sound exploration” workshops, and enjoys teaching
			privately.


			Since 1999, River has been living in the mountains of Asheville, NC with his wife and three daughters. He
			travels internationally with Turkish master musician Omar Faruk Tekbilek. You can also hear his lyrical
			style as a soloist with The River Guerguerian Project, his world jazz trio Free Planet Radio, and the global
			Americana group The Billy Sea.<ref>[http://www.guerguerian.com/RiverBio.pdf River Guerguerian Bio] Retrieved 06/09/2012</ref>
