About Me

Xenia Rubinos is a composer and vocalist currently working on her debut EP, "Elephant Songs" which is a collection of pieces influenced by child-like musings and Cuba. Xenia earned her BM in jazz composition from Berklee College of Music where she studied voice and played in an improvised music trio with mentor, Dave Tronzo. In 2009 Xenia began curating a multi-disciplinary performance series, 'Gownaus Creative Sessions", which she hosted out of her Gowanus living room, the sessions grew in size and popularity and are in the process of moving to a new location and being overhauled as "Brooklyn Creative Sessions" set to launch in January 2010. Xenia is currently recording her first EP, "Elephant Songs". Her latest work, "Childhood in Neon", a collaboration with composer and multi-instrumentalist, Brittany Anjou and visual artist Nobuko Hori was just premiered in September 2009 at Moneytown in Williamsburg.
