Corie Rose Soumah* (she\/her) is a Canadian composer (QC) currently based in Chicago. She is interested in shaping fractured and reconstructed sound components through hyper-collages and visceral physical gestures. Her approach is characterized by a keen interest in the interweaving of multiple aesthetic and sonic elements from the perspective of afro-diasporic geologies. She explores these textures through the overlay of different acoustic mediums as well as electronic and analog technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soumah has earned several distinctions, such as the Prix de composition 2025 as part of the Prix d’Europe and multiple awards from SOCAN Foundation. Her works have been performed by an extensive number of ensembles and performers such as the International Contemporary Ensemble, Bozzini Quartet, Ensemble Itin\u00e9raire, Longleash,\u00a0Hypercube, Ekmeles, Paramirabo, Sixtrum, Contemporary Insight,\u00a0New Music Concerts and\u00a0Wet Ink. Her works have also been featured at the Darmstadt Summer Course, Klangspuren, TIME:SPANS, Gaudeamus, Wigmore Hall, Haus der Kulturen der Welt, contrapunkt, MaerzMusik, Barbican Center, Fontainebleau Schools of Music and Fine Arts, Festival Musica, MATA festival, la salle Bourgie and many more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recent and upcoming collaborations include a new work for ensemble PHACE, a new saxophone quartet for Quasar as well as a new piece for ensemble Alkali.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
