Biography

Arbel studied piano and composition in Germany, until she immigrated to the British mandate of Palestine (1936), where she worked in agriculture at kibbutz HaMa'apil.[1] Only 25 years later, Arbel could resume her composition studies, with professor Leon Schidlowsky.[2] Arbel remained a kibbutz member for the rest of life. She won the Israeli ACUM Prize for Dialogue for Clarinet and Orchestra.[1]
