Kaija Saariaho :

Kaija Saariaho (born October 14, 1952) is a Finnish composer.
Kaija Saariaho studied composition in Helsinki, Freiburg and Paris, where
she has lived since 1982. Her studies and research at IRCAM have had a
major influence on her music and her characteristically luxuriant and
mysterious textures are often created by combining live music and
electronics. Although much of her catalogue comprises chamber works, from
the mid-nineties she has turned increasingly to larger forces and broader
structures, such as the operas L?amour de loin, premiered at the 2000
Salzburg Festival (with a US premiere at the Santa Fe Opera in 2002), and
Oltra mar, commissioned by the New York Philharmonic. Her second opera,
Adriana Mater, was commissioned for the Opéra National de Paris? 2006
season. Her second string quartet, Terra Memoria, was commissioned for the
Emerson Quartet by Carnegie Hall for a June 2007 premiere.
