Jorge Sosa is a Mexican-born composer, currently residing in New York City. Opera News described his telematic opera “Alice in the Pandemic” as “wildly imaginative, musically powerful and technically courageous” and commended “Sosa’s broad stylistic palette (which) incorporated lyrical impassioned melodies, kooky carnival music, and efficient recitative”. The Music Blog “I Care if You Listen” described Sosa’s opera “I Am A Dreamer Who No Longer Dreams” as “well-balanced to the story’s narrative, and his vocal writing aroused strong emotional peaks and valleys, magnified by the characters’ impassioned performances”. Both works were commissioned and premiered by White Snake Projects.c

During the 2023 season Jorge will premiere the puppet opera “Monkey” commissioned by White Snake Projects in Boston, and the comic opera “The Beehive” commissioned by the University of Northern Iowa. In 2022 Jorge’s opera “I Am A Dreamer Who No Longer Dreams,” received it’s second production by Resonance Works in Pittsburgh, with a new expanded orchestration. Jorge was selected as a finalist for The Atlanta Opera 96 Hour Opera Project in 2022, and also premiered the opera scene “Samiir’s Feast,” commissioned by White Snake Projects.
