String arranger, Composer

String arranger and composer/orchestrator for chamber orchestra, for classical, pop, rock, jazz & world contemporary music. Berklee College of Music Alum'15.

Hey there!
My name is Simona Smirnova! I am a musician and composer based in New York City. Classically trained on traditional Lithuanian zither, and having a jazz vocal degree; I have been a full time performer, composer and educator for the past decade. I graduated in 2015 from Berklee College of Music with a degree in Contemporary Writing & Production.

I am available to create string arrangements for recording projects and for special live event sessions. I receive the track(s) from the artist, arrange the parts in sheet music form and then deliver this to the artist and musicians. I am happy to create melody from scratch, if you need a new track for your project. Can deliver a song within 1 week.

- Solo / Quartet / Chamber / Full Orchestra are available
(Standard Team Composition : 5 vn.I / 4 vn.II / 3 va / 2 vc)
- can be arranged for your request

If the artist does not have string players in mind to play the parts, I am happy to assist in finding players for the project. I am also available for transcription of pre-arranged music into sheet music form.

I specialize in string writing, but I also enjoy writing for big-band, horn sections, 5-horn bands. I love creative and interesting projects!

If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to send me an email! I'm happy to hear your thoughts and answer any questions you may have.
