Composer
Mariane
Riss
Music of today that has not given up on melody.
The fragile moment between falling asleep and the first dream.
On Éclat de rêve, for piano.
A doctor of mathematics turned composer, Mariane Riss has been writing chamber, vocal and piano music since 2012 — music that keeps a taste for line and song. Her pieces have won awards at the Leopold Bellan International Competition in Paris and have been performed in London, Brussels, Lyon and Toulon.
