Heloisa Fleury French/Brazilian composer Biography Compositions

French/Brazilian composer Heloisa Fleury arrived in Paris in 1980, after obtaining a scholarship from the French Government. At the CNSMP she was trained in Composition and Analysis (with Claude Ballif) and Orchestration (with Serge Nigg), and at the Sorbonne in Musicology.

Heloisa Fleury has attended several international composition and contemporary music master-classes and has composed a great number of pieces in the late 20th century style, ranging from post-serialism to spectral music. This includes orchestral works such as Briseur d’Images and Vom Lichte getragen.

Over time she evolved towards a more tonal and modern style, with works such as Germinal, an opera rock, and dozens of songs in English, Portuguese and French.

She then entered a sacred music phase, composing works such as the Brazilian Mass, Missa Brevis, Requiem, Preghiera Semplice and There the soul dwells.

Her music has been performed throughout Europe and has received several composition awards. In 2018, her works were performed three times at the Hoffnungskirche in Berlin under the direction of Michael Geisler, and again in 2023.
