    Marina Ritzarev (b. 16 April 1946, Leningrad) is an Israeli musicologist. Following her career in St. Petersburg and Moscow, which included research in eighteenth-century Russian music, contemporary Russian music, work at the Archives department of the Central Museum of Musical Culture and serving as a Deputy Director in the Centre of Information at the USSR Composers' Union, she repatriated in Israel in 1990. Since 1992 she works at the Department of Music at Bar-Ilan University on a fellowship granted by the Israeli Ministry of Absorption to immigrant scholars. In 1997-2000 worked at the Israeli Music Archive at Tel-Aviv University. Multicultural experience, studies in ethnomusicology and the merging of Russian and Western musicological traditions enhanced new perspectives in her research. Subsequently, she developed a theory of the vernacular in music and also contributed to the field of music signification.

    In addition to research, her recent activity includes teaching and supervision of postgraduate students. She is President of the Israeli Musicological Society.
