Marcelo Zarvos has composed music for many artistic mediums.

His movie scores include ones for Charles Herman-Wurmfeld’s Kissing Jessica Stein, Michael Burke’s The Mudge Boy, Hilary Birmingham’s Tully (nominated for 4 Independent Spirit Awards), and Paulo Machline’s Academy Award-nominated short film A Soccer Story.

Mr. Zarvos’ dance scores include “Divinities” (for Cleo Parker Robinson Dance) and “The Path,” both of which were presented at NYC’s Joyce Theater.
