Bent Sørensen
Born: 18th July 1958, Borup, Denmark
Nationality: Danish
Bent Sørensen is a Danish composer. He won the Grawemeyer Award for Music Composition in 2018 for L'isola della Città (2016).
He studied composition with Ib Nørholm at the Royal Danish Academy of Music and with Per Nørgård at the Royal Academy of Music in Aarhus.
Sørensen treats major/minor tonalities with microtonal inflections and blurs the harmonies with glissandi. Examples of this technique can be found in his trombone concerto "Birds and Bells", a work for orchestra and choir "Echoing Garden", and his violin concerto "Sterbende Gärten", which took the prestigious Nordic Council Music Prize in 1996.
