Corie Rose Soumah (she/her) is a Canadian composer (QC) currently based in New York. She is interested in shaping fractured and reconstructed sound components through hyper-collages and visceral physical gestures. Her approach is characterized by a keen interest in the interweaving of multiple aesthetic and sonic elements from the perspective of afrodiasporic geologies. She explores these textures through the overlay of different acoustic mediums as well as electronic and analog technologies.

Soumah has earned several distinctions, such as the Prix de compostion 2025 as part of the Prix d’Europe and multiple awards from SOCAN Foundation. Her works have been performed by an extensive number of ensembles and performers such as the International Contemporary Ensemble, Bozzini Quartet, Ensemble Itinéraire, Longleash, Hypercube, Ekmeles, Paramirabo, Sixtrum, Contemporary Insight, New Music Concerts and Wet Ink. Her works have also been featured at the Darmstadt Summer Course, TIME:SPANS, Gaudeamus, Haus der Kulturen der Welt, contrapunkt, MaerzMusik, Fontainebleau Schools of Music and Fine Arts, Festival Musica, MATA festival, la salle Bourgie and many more.

Recent and upcoming collaborations include a new work for the International Contemporary Ensemble, a solo voice piece with electronics for Elaine Mitchener, a new saxophone quartet for Quasar as well as a string quartet for Bozzini Quartet.
