French Biography

Le compositeur Ian Cusson, d’origine métisse et canadienne-française, se spécialise dans la mélodie, l’opéra et les partitions orchestrales. Ses œuvres s’attachent au passé autochtone et métis du Canada, à l’hybridité d’une identité combinant plus d’une race, et aux liens entre les cultures occidentale et autochtone.

Ian Cusson a étudié la composition sous la férule de Jake Heggie (à San Francisco) et de Samuel Dolin, en plus d’apprendre le piano auprès de James Anagnoson à l’école de musique Glenn-Gould et d’être pris sous l’aile de Johanne Debus. Lauréat d’une bourse Chalmers de formation professionnelle, du National Aboriginal Achievement Foundation Award et de bourses des conseils des arts du Canada, de l’Ontario et de Toronto, Ian Cusson a été l’un des tout premiers compositeurs en résidence Carrefour auprès de l’Orchestre du Centre national des arts de 2017 à 2019. Il est maintenant compositeur en résidence auprès de la Canadian Opera Company, et ce, jusqu’en 2021.

Compositeur agréé du Centre de musique canadienne, Ian Cusson est aussi membre de la Ligue canadienne des compositeurs. Il réside à Oakville avec son épouse et leurs quatre enfants.
