Alejandra Odgers

Mexican-Canadian composer Alejandra Odgers received her training in both Mexico and Canada - a path which has given her tools to create an expressive and direct musical language which takes its inspiration from different sources. Odgers has composed over 50 works and has been performed by various ensembles and orchestras. Notably, the Orchèstre Métropolitan commissioned her to create a new work for the 375th anniversary of Montreal and another work for the opening of Espace 67, which was led by Yannick Nézet-Séguin. Odgers has won first prizes in composition competitions across Mexico and Canada.
