WOMEN MUSICIANS HAVE NOT GOT THE CREDIT THEY DESERVE: BEATRICE THIRIET

|

December 15, 2024

FRENCH composer Béatrice Thiriet's musical journey started as a five-year-old when she decided to surprise her mom with a Mother's Day gift.

WOMEN MUSICIANS HAVE NOT GOT THE CREDIT THEY DESERVE: BEATRICE THIRIET

The musical piece that she weaved together is a cherished memory, that also set her on a career path that saw her evolve as one of the few music composers in world cinema in the early 1990s.

Now, the 64-year-old stands as a master of her art whose body of work is as sterling as it is inspiring. TNIE spoke to Béatrice on the sidelines of the 29th International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK) which is currently on in the capital. Excerpts:

You have composed pieces of classical music and scores for films. What is the difference?

Writing an opera is a personal creation, where I usually focus on women-centric themes. Through this, I am seeking to break stereotypes. For example, there has historically been commendable work done by women in music, yet, they have not got the credit they deserve. So, for operas, I let my mind flow free, bringing out the creative elements that I want to focus on.
