Alfredo Santa Ana | Composer
A graduate of Missouri’s Truman State University and a current PhD student at UBC’s School of Music, Alfredo Santa Ana has a wide array of instrumental and electronic music to his credit. During his time as an undergraduate student, he received third place in the MTNA national competition for the song cycle Llegó en la Noche and saw his orchestral revolt premiered by the Truman State Symphony Orchestra. While working toward his graduate degree at UBC, Alfredo was selected to participate in readings with the Vancouver and Victoria Symphony Orchestras; and his one-movement work, Manifold, was in 2006 premiered by the Victoria Symphony Orchestra. The Saddest Boy in the World, Alfredo’s first collaboration with Jamie Travis, features his score for piano quintet; Patterns 3, their second collaboration, marks his bold first stab at the musical genre.
