Composer and performer Cristina Spinei has written for numerous orchestras and chamber ensembles. Her works have been commissioned by Nashville Ballet, the New York Choreographic Institute, Pacific Northwest Ballet, Parsons Dance Company, and many more. Self-described as “minimalish,” Cristina anchors her musical ideas in melody, movement, and loops. Her music combines her love for operas, beautifully crafted melodies, and Latin music’s movement-heavy rhythms—elements that work in tandem to inform Cristina’s vision.
