LINA BREINING:
Composer for film and media

About Me:

Lina Breining is an NYC based composer for film and media from Austin, TX.​  With a background in classical piano, strings and percussion, Lina’s musical style seeks to blend the traditional lush Hollywood orchestral style with her own musical voice, featuring lyrical melodies and always with a strong focus on conveying story. Lina recently completed scoring her first feature film with independent filmmakers in Los Angeles. In 2023 and 2024, Lina  worked as an orchestra production assistant on  the 76th & 77th Annual Tony Awards. In addition to composing, Lina is also a skilled orchestrator & arranger, transcriber, mixer, sound designer, and video editor. Lina is a proud recent graduate of New York University's Screen Scoring Masters program ('24).

Lina has collaborated with various independent filmmakers, as well as student filmmakers from the American Film Institute, NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, the School of Visual Arts, and the University of Texas at Austin.  Additionally, Lina's music has been heard internationally and at various film festivals including the Oscar qualifying AFI Fest and The Rhode Island International Film Festival. Her works have been performed by the NYU Orchestra and the Budapest Symphony Orchestra. Lina's works have been praised and critiqued by notable film composers including: Blake Neely (You Netflix Series), Jeff Beal (House of Cards), Marcelo Zarvos (Wonder), Pete Nashel (I, Tonya),  and Carlos Rafael Rivera (the Queen’s Gambit). 

​

Lina has studied under numerous concert & screen composers including award winning composers Mark Suozzo, Alba Torremocha, and 5 time Emmy Award winning composer, Jamie Lawrence.
