She attended the Herb Alpert School of Music at UCLA where she studied classical music and performance with Movses Pogossian and Ji Young An. Additionally, she pursued two minors in Music Industry and Film, Television, and Digital Media. During her time there, Arielle was nominated by string faculty and awarded a position in the Gluck Fellowship program, offering educational performances for various communities across a diversity of musical styles and participating for 2 consecutive years as the first violinist and group coordinator of her string quartet. In 2023, she joined the California Young Artists Symphony as a substitute and American Youth Symphony as a second violinist, which allowed her the opportunity to participate in their Hollywood Project for the 30th Anniversary of Jurassic Park and the recording of Schoenberg’s Chamber Symphony No. 1, featured on the album For a Younger Self. She has also had numerous other opportunities to work with fellow students and faculty, such as participating in the Monday Evening Concert Series, a recording of a Regal Cinemas Coca-Cola commercial, and as concertmaster for UCLA Symphony. Since graduating, Arielle has had the pleasure of taking part in the live production and official album recording of the musical Dis-Topia as principal second, accompanying pianist Zade Dirani at the Wiltern, and recording for more film and game projects including Richard’s Roast, Project: Eden’s Garden, and Gracie Turns 15, among others.
