An important figure in contemporary music, Quebec-based composer Ana Sokolović has distinguished herself internationally through her imaginative, rhythm-driven music, with repertoire that ranges from critically acclaimed operas and orchestra works to powerful solo and chamber pieces.
“Ana Sokolović has developed a musical language of striking originality and remarkable technical accomplishment. In several of her works, she explores in a very personal way the folklore of the Balkans, which she visits through the filter of Stravinsky’s polyrhythms, the bewitching beat of certain pop music and the dynamism of several African tempos. Her direct and refined discourse is one of the most invigorating successes of the new Canadian music.” – SMCQ
