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 in The Royal Conservatory of Music, studying cello and oboe, as well as composition. Additionally, 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 performed throughout the world, and has been featured in numerous portrait concerts, CDs and films. Samuel Andreyev was awarded the Henri Dutilleux Prize in 2012 for his composition Night Division. Andreyev is a poet. His first major collection of poems, Evidence, was issued in 2009 by Quattro Books of Toronto, and his second, The Relativistic Empire, was published by Bookthug in October 2015. A member of the Académie de France à Madrid, he was in residence at the Casa de Velázquez from 2012–2013.[2]
