Bio

Arina moved from Yekaterinburg, a city of her birth, to Moscow when she was 2 years old. When she was around 4 years old, her mother decided to take Arina to children musical theater “Domisolka” where she has basically spent all her childhood. Arina has listened to all genres of music, but jazz (contemporary jazz in particular) has a special place in her heart. Arina’s love for jazz comes from her wonderful teacher, Nikolai Chermoshentsev. Arina started to have lessons with him when she was 12 years old and they are still making music together. Arina really enjoys making her own arrangements for different compositions because it uncovers her view of the piece.
