Arina Brovanova is a multi-instrumentalist and composer with extensive experience performing and recording with the piano and the cello. As a cellist, she has played with orchestras in Russia and the UK and participated in numerous recording sessions (including, in Abbey Road Studio 1) as a part of different ensembles. She is a co-founder and a musician of the London-based functional ensemble "Belle Quartet". As a pianist, she has performed numerous solo recitals. Her piano repertoire includes music by classical and modern composers such as J. S. Bach, F. Chopin, Johann Strauss, M. Mussorgsky, Philip Glass, Ludovico Einaudi and many more. Her favourite concert pieces are Seasons by Tchaikovsky and Vagharshapat Dance by Arno Babajanian. Also, she has been teaching piano lessons since 2016. Her Russian classical training provided her with a unique lens through which she composes today. She has also studied at the London College of Music (MMus Composition for Film and TV) and has broad experience in writing music for short films and videos (using Logic Pro, Cubase, Sibelius, and MuseScore). Her recent work is "The Last Landscape", dir. Katie Cox.

She is also interested in game audio and worked with FMOD and Unity as part of her Master`s Dissertation Project.

Arina is an exceptional composer and arranger. We had the pleasure of performing her arrangement of "Paint It Black" from the Netflix Original Series "Wednesday", as well as three of her original pieces for string trios. Her efficiency in delivering the arrangements within the deadlines was impressive, and she was always open to adapting the scores to suit our ensemble's needs. Arina's original music exhibits a captivating contemporary classical style. Her compositions for chamber ensembles are particularly remarkable as they skillfully explore the sonic possibilities of the instruments, creating a rich and expansive sound that gives the impression of a larger ensemble playing. It was a delight to work with her, and we highly recommend her talent and professionalism to anyone seeking a composer and arranger for their musical projects.

ORIGINAL CHAMBER COMPOSITIONS​
Stars of Brighton. Hp.​
This is a solo harp piece inspired by one of the starry evenings spent in Brighton. (2021)
At the sunset hour of one warm spring day... A Sax. Pno.
"At the sunset hour of one warm spring day, two men were to be seen at Patriarch Ponds" is the first line in The Master and Margarita book by the Russian author Mikail Bulgakov. If this book was a music piece, it probably would be jazzy because there are so many peculiar things going on in the book as well as odd harmonies can be heard in jazz. This composition is inspired by the picture of one warm spring day at Patriarch's Ponds, the first scene in the book. (2022)
But stay my Hector here, and guard his Troy. Vl. Vl. Vla. Vc.
This composition is inspired by a truly touching and sad episode from Homer`s Iliad, Book VI: 369-439 "Hector speaks with Andromache". (2023)
String Trio No 1. Allegro. Vl. Vla. Vc.
(2023)
String Trio No 2. Allegretto. Vl. Vla. Vc.
