Samuel Andreyev (born Samuel Curnoe Andreeff; 15 April 1981 in Kincardine) is a Canadian composer and writer residing in France.

Career

Andreyev grew up in the town of Kincardine, Ontario[1] moving with his family to Toronto in 1988. There he enrolled at The Royal Conservatory of Music, studying cello and oboe, as well as composition. In parallel to his formal music education, he experimented on his own, fascinated by rare instruments and the possibilities offered by recording technology. He settled in Paris in 2003 to study composition, initially with Allain Gaussin, then with Frédéric Durieux at the Paris Conservatoire. His music is regularly performed at major international festivals, and has been used in films and theater productions. Samuel Andreyev was awarded the Henri Dutilleux Prize in 2012 for his composition Night Division. Andreyev is also active as a poet. His first major collection of poems, Evidence, was issued in 2009 by Quattro Books of Toronto. A member of the Académie de France à Madrid, he was in residence at the Casa de Velázquez from 2012–2013.[2]
