Zoe Bartholomeusz

I’m a composition and music technology graduate who specialises in arranging. I am most comfortable arranging for string instruments, but enjoy writing for all sorts of ensembles. I play violin and viola in amateur musical theatre productions around Melbourne, Australia, and am the violist in Gilbert Grove Quartet.

My compositions are mostly inspired by film and world music. My final uni project was a 20-minute film which I shot, edited, and composed. It explored different parts of nature and the emotions these places stir up for me.

As a musician who has played many questionable and confusing arrangements, I understand the necessity of legible formatting and layout.

I also have experience in proof reading and editing. I was one of the 2023 editors of Lot’s Wife, the student magazine at Monash University’s Clayton campus.
