Beatrice Ferreira is a Canadian American composer, violist, and music educator currently based in London. With a style described as ‘atmospheric, surreal… [and] occasionally unnerving - perhaps better to say haunted’ (Spectrum Culture), she draws upon contemporary materials to mimic and destabilise our perceptions of extramusical sound. Beatrice has established herself in the classical music scene as a skilled yet playful voice. Her works have premiered at Southbank Centre, Snape Maltings, Barbican Centre, National Sawdust (NY), and Domaine Forget de Charlevoix (Quebec). She currently serves as Artist-in-Residence for the label Nonclassical.

In addition to her work as a composer, Beatrice is a passionate and experienced teacher. She encourages her students to develop thorough technique, embrace diverse repertoire, and achieve a consistent and confident practice routine tailored to their individual goals.

She holds an M.A. (composition) in Opera Making and Writing from Guildhall School of Music and Drama and a B.Mus in Composition and Viola Performance from McGill University.
