About the composers from Chile:
Crishea Koyck Corrales – Composer, pedagogue and cultural manager.
She has developed her life in these three axes: creation, teaching children, youth and adults and the constant management of various projects, spaces and cultural fabrics.
Since 2018 she has focused her work on “Cantos del Mar”, works of diverse instrumentation that arise from the permanent link she establishes with the Pacific. Seeking to make visible, recognize and restore the memory of the waters that has been forgotten and somehow taken away in order to carry out the devastation of which the oceans and their ecosystems are victims today. Waters that harbor flora, fauna, fungus, collective memory, history and why not, the depths of our own unconscious.
Valeria Valle – Composer, researcher, academic, scientific disseminator from the arts and cultural manager.
Founder of the collective Resonancia Femenina, Principal Researcher in the POETA Program where she observes and monitors ecosystems and biodiversity in the San Ignacio del Huinay Foundation. Her works are linked to musical metalanguage, development of sound imagery, timbre and texture studies, media studies for scientific dissemination and gender issues in music. Her compositions have been performed by different ensembles such as the Orquesta de Cámara de Chile, Orquesta Clásica USACH, Orquesta Sinfónica de Concepción among others. Her music is available on all streaming platforms where she has already released four albums.
