Lily Soloshvili, also known as Lily Solo, is a Georgian-born composer whose work in classical and film music has gained recognition for its emotional intensity and psychological depth. Now based in Los Angeles, Lily’s compositions often resonate deeply with audiences, drawing on both her formal training and personal experiences. Whether composing for the concert stage or film, her music seems to speak with clarity and a profound connection to real human emotion.
A Journey Rooted in Early Experiences
Lily began composing music at the young age of 10, and by 14, she was already presenting her original works at the Union of Composers of Georgia, highlighting her early musical talent and drive. Growing up in the Republic of Georgia, Lily’s foundation in classical composition was shaped by her fluency in piano, flute, and choral writing. Her musical education, paired with a passion for psychology, gave her a unique perspective on human behavior and emotion, which continues to influence her work today.
Through her deep understanding of psychological literature, Lily draws on the emotional landscapes of human experiences in her compositions. Her ability to combine classical techniques with a modern psychological understanding distinguishes her in her field, making her music not just technically impressive but deeply relatable.
Music as a Reflection of Life’s Emotions
Lily’s compositions are infused with emotional honesty and personal storytelling. A perfect example of this is her piece Father, a work for string quartet and voice. The composition explores themes of absence, yearning, and healing, drawing from Lily’s own experience growing up without a father. Through evocative string textures and a searching vocal line, she invites the listener to confront their own emotional experiences, transforming personal grief into a broader reflection.
Another notable work, Six Years, won second place in The Oboe Foundation’s 2025 Classical Composition Competition. This well-regarded piece reflects Lily’s personal journey, portraying the emotions she faced during her years of separation from her family after immigrating to the U.S. The piece’s six sections represent each year of her emotional journey, capturing the complexities of longing, loneliness, strength, and eventual reconnection.

One of the hallmarks of Lily’s music is her ability to merge classical composition techniques with modern expression. By combining structure with emotional truth, she creates works that resonate both intellectually and emotionally. Her music reflects her dedication to bringing emotional connection back to contemporary classical music, a time when such depth can sometimes be hard to find.
Her background in both classical music and psychology allows her to approach composition from a deeply personal and narrative-driven perspective. Whether it’s for concert stages or film, her compositions go beyond merely accompanying a story—they become part of it, elevating the emotional impact of the narrative.
Open to Collaborations: Seeking Meaningful Connections
Lily Soloshvili is actively looking for opportunities to collaborate with performers, ensembles, and filmmakers who are drawn to music that carries emotional weight and intellectual purpose. Her compositions are well-suited for modern classical musicians and filmmakers who are looking for original, expressive works that will enrich their performances or stories.
For Lily, collaboration is not just about creating music; it’s about building meaningful relationships through shared artistic vision. Whether it’s for concert performances or film scoring, Lily is eager to connect with those who value emotionally rich, story-driven music. Her unique blend of classical structure, modern expression, and psychological insight is likely to ensure that her work leaves a significant impact.
Building Creative Relationships
Lily’s ultimate goal is to bring emotional connection back into music. Through her deep understanding of both human emotion and musical form, she creates compositions that speak to the heart and mind. She is particularly interested in working with artists who are open to exploring new, emotionally resonant compositions and expanding their repertoire with original music. Additionally, Lily is offering special opportunities for musicians and filmmakers to collaborate, including discounts for film scoring projects and free compositions for performers interested in her work.
