Bio of composers > MAKDISSI-WARREN, Katia
 Katia Makdissi-Warren
first studies in composition were at the Quebec
Conservatory and then at the Musikhochschule
in Hamburg, Germany. To realize her desire to
combine Arabic and Occidental musical forms,
she studied Arabic music in depth at the Conservatoire
National de Beyrouth and at the Kaslik University
in Lebanon under the supervision of P. Louis
Hage. Parallel to those studies, she participated
in courses led by Franco Donatoni, Ennio Morricone
and Manfred Stahnke.
Regularly performed on CBC, her works are played
by various artists including the Quebec Symphony
and the National Oriental Orchestra of Lebanon.
She received several grants from the Quebec
Arts Council and the Canadian Arts Council.
She is also composer-director for several theater
companies. Since 2000 she is particularly active
with the groupe Zeugma, an ensemble specializing
in the combination of Middle-eastern and Western
music.
