About
Sandra Boss is a Danish composer working with a transdisciplinary approach to musical performance, resulting in works situated between music, performance and installation. Her compositional voice is distinctly explorative with a strong interest in the hidden sonic potentials of instruments and technologies. An important element within her work is a physical dialogue with sound sources where instruments are treated as performative co-performers.
Sandra studied with American/Danish composer Wayne Siegel at DIEM, The Royal Danish Academy of Music. She holds a PhD on sound art from The University of Aarhus, Denmark. Her studies has been supplemented with private classes with composers such as Milica Djordjevic, Bent Sørensen, Rune Glerup & Erik Højsgaard.
The work of Sandra Boss has been performed at numerous international venues including Vancouver New Music Festival (CA), The Month of Contemporary Music Berlin (DE), Archipel Festival (CH), Future Stops (CA), Super Deluxe (JP), Cafe Oto (UK), KRAAK Festival (Be), Blurred Edges (DE), Seanaps Festival (DE), Speicher (DE), Akusmata (FI), LUFF Festival (CH), Detritus Festival (GR), SPOR Festival (DK) and many more.
She has worked with Chaos String Quartet (AUT), Ensemble Musikfabrik (DE), Aarhus Sinfonietta (DK), Ensemble Lydenskab (DK) and Sistro Duo.
She has been awarded the Carl Nielsen Talent Price (2017) and the 3-year working grant from The Danish Arts Foundation (2022).
