- Roxana Briban (28 October 1971 – 20 November 2010) was a Romanian operatic soprano. Born in Bucharest, Briban first became interested in music at the age of six, when she began to sing and play the violin, soon becoming a soloist of the Romanian Radio Children's Choir, which supports over 300 concerts in Romania and abroad. She attended the George Enescu Music High School in Bucharest, which she left in 1995. Later graduating from the National University of Music Bucharest, Briban received awards from the Romanian Musical Forum and the Romanian Radio Broadcasting Company (SRR).
