Susana Baron Supervielle

Susana Baron Supervielle de Tresca (1910 – 17 May 2004[1]) was an Argentine composer.

Born in Buenos Aires, in 1910, Supervielle began her musical education under Gilardo Gilardi and Juan Carlos Paz. In 1945, interested in the avant-garde concrete music that Pierre Schaeffer was experimenting with in Paris, she moved there and joined the newly formed Groupe de Recherche de Musique Concrète at his direction.[2] At the same time, she studied with Nadia Boulanger and later, in São Paulo, with Hans-Joachim Koellreutter. She authored several works for piano and instrumental chamber ensembles, but is best known for her vocal pieces with piano accompaniment, with some sixty compositions.[3][4]

She married Jorge Tresca and settled in Brazil where she continued her studies in musicology and composition, where she died on 17 May 2004, aged 94.[5]
