Jannina Norpoth
Arranger

Grammy-nominated violinist Jannina Norpoth, made her debut as a soloist with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra at age 14. Since then, she has built a career as an innovative collaborative artist with a passion for contemporary music, genre bending and improvisation, a sought-after arranger and orchestrator, and an advocate for a more inclusive and versatile landscape in classical music.  

Praised by Strad Magazine for her ability to write a transcription “so natural sounding that it could have been the composer's original version." Ms. Norpoth is a sought-after arranger both in the classical and non-classical worlds. Recent commissions include Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, St. Louis Symphony, Sphinx Virtuosi, Trinity Wall Street and the Volcano Theatre Company’s new adaptation of Scott Joplin’s Treemonisha.   As an arranger she has written and arranged strings for Keyshia Cole, Keri Hilson, Kat DeLuna, Black Dahlia Murder, Akron Family, John Legend, and Never Shout Never. Her recording credits include Keyshia Cole's Woman to Woman, Keri Hilson's No Boys Allowed, Black Dahlia Murder's Everblack and Ritual, Akron Family's Set em' Wild / Set em' Free, Sphinx Virtuosi Live in Concert, Bob Stewart's Connections - Mind the Gap and with her ensembles HOLLANDS and PUBLIQuartet. She may also be heard as a member of the "Hustla' Symphony Orchestra" on the bonus tracks for Jay-Z's live concert release on his 2006 Def Jam release, Kingdom Come. As a studio arranger and performer she has worked under Grammy Award-winning producers Jerry "Wonda" Duplessis and Bryce Goggin. 

Ms. Norpoth lives in Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, with her husband John-Paul and their puggle Vegas. Upcoming projects include the world premiere of a new adaptation of Scott Joplin’s Opera Treemonisha, featuring a collaborative orchestration with composer Jessie Montgomery and commissioned by Volcano: an experimental theatre company based in Toronto, as well as a duo recording of Prokofiev's Sonatas for violin and piano with pianist Maria Meirelles.
