Vanessa Lann studied composition at the Westchester Conservatory of Music, Harvard University and Royal Conservatory of The Hague. Lann has recently been appointed as Head of Composition for Film and Theatre at ArtEZ University of the Arts in Arnhem, The Netherlands. She has lived and worked in the Netherlands as a composer, university professor (Webster University, Leiden) and visiting composition lecturer (Hogeschool voor de Kunsten, Utrecht) for the past 32 years.

Lann’s work is performed in venues all over the world including the Berlin Philharmonie, Lincoln Center (NY), Wigmore Hall (London) and the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. Commissioned by renowned soloists, ensembles and festivals, her music is featured on more than ten recordings and is published by Donemus. Her recent CD, moonshadow sunshadow, is a compilation from the past 25 years, on the ATTACCA label.

Lann’s music uses the repetition of recognizable figures, as well as structures based on number ratios and patterns, to explore concepts of continuity, infinity and silence, incorporating ritual and humor while placing every-day sounds and gestures in unusual contexts.

She recently received the 2019 Buma Classical Award for being the most-performed Dutch composer worldwide.
