Avinoam Ettun
Hi there! my name is Avinoam.
I am a guitarist, composer, and arranger.
My instrument is my ears — sometimes I hold a guitar in my hands, sometimes I play piano, and at times I create with pen and paper. My work spans composing for orchestras, arranging for jazz and pop ensembles, and performing with folk rock singers. I lead my own large ensemble and string quartet, combining electric guitar with a variety of musical influences.
I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with renowned artists across genres, including the Jazz Gallery Big Band, Sienna Sears, Tali Golergant, the Newman-Oltman Guitar Duo, Hans-Peter Salentin, and others.
My performances and compositions have taken me across New York, Europe, Israel, and beyond, with my work featured at leading venues and festivals.
Whether I’m composing for orchestras, arranging for ensembles, performing live, or mentoring young musicians, I continue to explore and expand my artistic horizons, always seeking new ways to express my musical ideas.
I hold a Master's degree in Music from The New School and a Bachelor's degree from The Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance. Additionally, I am an alumnus of the BMI Jazz Composers Workshop, where I honed my skills in composition and orchestration.
