Last i heard from Albert's wife, Annabelle, must have been a year before she passed on Dec 8, 2015*. As usual, she spoke about her late husband, Maestro Albert H. Darakjian's music legacy. Anabelle volunteered as patron of the arts and alway enjoyed promoting Albert's work. They were both deeply devoted Christians. He was contemporary of composer Lalo Shifrin who knew about Albert's music.
The couple had no children.
It was because of Albert's music that my husband and I met in 1998 at the Sherr auditorium in Thousand Oaks. Albert's music was on the program presented by a well-loved piano teacher in the area, Edward Francis.
This picture of Albert & Annabelle was taken at our wedding in 2000 at Vache's restaurant in Studio City. May God bless their souls and unite them in heaven. Grateful for their passion for love and music.
