Kristina Arakelyan

Kristina Arakelyan’s work as composer, pianist and educator is guided by a clear vision of music’s intrinsic power and purpose.

The Armenian-British musician seeks to communicate profound feelings with compositions hallmarked by their striking beauty and compelling emotional honesty.

Her music for choir, orchestra, chamber ensembles or solo instruments has been performed at some of the world’s leading venues, including Carnegie Hall in New York, London’s Wigmore Hall and Southbank Centre, Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles and Symphony Hall, Birmingham.

Kristina is set to reach a new audience with the 2025 release of Dreamland, her solo debut album for Apple Music’s Platoon label, in which she performs a programme of her piano pieces.
