Diana Soh
COMPOSER
“...her music is imprinted in our minds and places us in front of something human, personal, that does not leave indifferent. The technique that Soh proves to possess does not stifle what is most personal and intimate in her scores.”
BIOGRAPHY
One of today’s most exciting artists, Diana Soh is a multi-disciplinary Singaporean composer based in Paris. She has written for a wide range of instrumentation and disciplines from chamber music to orchestra, dance, film, choral and vocal music, and multi-media site-specific works.
Notable highlights include A is for Aiyah with soprano Elise Chauvin as the soloist, which was premiered in Singapore by the Singapore Symphony Orchestra (2018), as well as her string quartet sssh with the Mettis Quartet at the Aix en Provence Festival (2018). Diana also wrote the monodrama Zylan ne chantera plus with writer Yann Verburgh and staged by Richard Brunel as part of “Opera de Lyon - hors les murs” initiative.
