	Musicians - Avet Terterian

Avet Terterian (also Alfred Roubenovich Terterian or Terteryan) (July 29, 1929 in Baku, Azerbaijan – December 11, 1994 in Yekaterinburg, Russia) was an Armenian composer. He was a friend and colleague of Giya Kancheli.

Several of his symphonies are recorded, as noted in one of the pages linked. (The date 1973 in the Musicweb review of the Melodiya recording of symphony 3 is probably a typographical error, since the publisher's listing also gives 1975 for the first performance of that work.)
