Lise Borel
About
Lise Borel is a French composer. She began her musical journey with studies in piano, singing, and classical dance at the Suresnes Conservatory. Her apprenticeship with Frédérique Fontanarosa solidified her desire to compose.
She then joined the Maîtrise des Hauts-de-Seine and then the Maîtrise de Radio France under the direction of Toni Ramon and then Sofi Jeannin.
After graduating from high school, she enrolled in a preparatory program for literature with a music option, where she studied under Sabine Bérard. She then earned a degree in Musicology from Sorbonne University (Paris IV). She won several prizes at the Boulogne-Billancourt Regional Conservatory (CRR) (Analysis with Naji Hakim, Orchestration with Pierre Farago, Musical Culture with Constance Luzzati, and Composition with Fabien Touchard). She also studied composition with Jean-Luc Hervé and choral conducting with Ariel Alonso at the 18th arrondissement conservatory.
Alongside her studies, she began teaching at the Radio France Choir School in 2015. She has led the composition class since 2022. She continues her passion for sharing knowledge by giving lectures (École Normale Supérieure in Paris, National Library of France, etc.). She taught piano at the Jaroussky Academy for six years. Lise was also responsible for the Christmas programming at the Royal Abbey of Fontevraud in 2022. Driven by her desire to promote heritage and creativity by combining different disciplines, Lise has had the opportunity to participate in numerous residencies (United States, India, Iceland, Japan, etc.).
She has composed for renowned musicians (Yo-Yo Ma, Philippe Jaorussky, Edgar Moreau, the Aedes ensemble, the Radio France Choir, the Notre-Dame Choir...). Her pieces have been created in prestigious venues (the Eiffel Tower, the Radio France auditorium, the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, the Catacombs, Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris...).
