Hi, I’m Alena Kutumian, a composer, orchestrator, and music copyist with a passion for storytelling through sound. I’ve collaborated on films, stage works, and concert pieces with prestigious filmmakers and composers, such as Scott Woods, Dean E. Kobs, and Emily Simonian.
I thrive in collaborative environments, enjoy shaping musical ideas from concept to page to screen, and love exploring and creating new and never before imagined genres of music for the story.
