SMCQ PAYS HOMMAGE TO ANA SOKOLOVIC
Composer Ana Sokolovic (1968- ) will be celebrated
during the third edition of the SMCQ’s
Hommage Series in 2011-12. The Series pays tribute
to one Quebec composer each year through a
series of concerts, outreach initiatives, and awareness
programs. Sokolovic follows Gilles Tremblay
and Claude Viver and will be the first woman and
first non-native Quebecer to be fêted. Originally
born in Belgrade, Serbia, Sokolovic moved to
Montreal to complete her master’s at the
Université de Montréal and married composer
Jean Lesage. Sokolovic won the CBC National
Young Composer’s Competition and has also won
awards at the SOCAN Young Composer’s
Competition. In 1996, she represented Quebec at
the Unesco International Rostrum of Composers.
One of Sokolovic’s recent commisions is from The
Banff Centre and CBC for the 2010 Banff
International String Quartet Competition. CC
