Vanessa Massera (Sorce-Lévesque)

Originating from Montréal, Vanessa has studied music her entire life. When she discovered electroacoustic music in college, she discovered a whole new means of expression and went on to pursue composition studies at the Conservatoire de musique de Montréal with Yves Daoust and Martin Bédard. She has then received a Prize with Distinction upon completing her master’s in electroacoustic composition in 2013. She then moved to the UK to research performance in electroacoustic music, with the intention of completing a PhD at The University of Sheffield. Since 2011, her music is regularly heard in festivals around the world. Since 2016, she receives financial support from the Fonds de Recherche du Québec - Société et culture (FRQSC).
