JORGE SOSA

Award-winning composer Jorge Sosa Ortega's music has been performed hundreds of times around the world - from New Zealand to Iran and consistently to great acclaim.

He has received five NEA grants, an Opera America IDEA Grant, and Opera America New Works Development Grant, among other distinctions. His works have received rave reviews from major publications such as the Wall Street Journal, Opera News, and Boston Globe.

Jorge won Best Original Score at the Vesuvius International Film Festival for his work on the film “Acceptance”. His opera “I Am A Dreamer Who No Longer Dreams” has been performed multiple times throughout the United States and México. “Alice In The Pandemic”, written during lockdown, is a groundbreaking work that features synchronized remote singers, animation, and motion capture, and has the special distinction of being archived in the Library of Congress as part of their Pandemic Response Collection. His “Generación Perdida” is about the human rights crisis in Mexico, and has been performed in New York and throughout Mexico.

Jorge welcomes commissions for opera, concert, and film. Get in touch to discuss your project.
