Composer

Marlene Dirven

Marlene Dirven (1992) blends classical and contemporary influences to create melodies that linger long in your mind.

With over two decades of experience as a musician, she has performed across the globe – from major concert halls to the streets of Tehran – playing in 14 orchestras and ensembles, and collaborating with artists on both live shows and studio recordings.

Her music is a mix of haunting cello lines, nostalgic vocals, piano and harp.

In 2023, she received funding from VAF to compose the score for a documentary film. In 2024, IDFA selected her as an emerging talent in film composition.
