Award-winning composer Jorge Sosa Ortega's music has been performed hundreds of times around the world - from New Zealand to Iran - and consistently to great acclaim. He has won a great many awards, including five NEA grants, an Opera America IDEA Grant amongst other accolades. His works have received rave reviews from major publications such as the Wall Street Journal, Opera News, and Boston Globe. 

A self-described musical chameleon, Jorge has vast experience writing in a wide variety of genres, including for film, opera, concert works, theatrical music, neoclassical works, experimental electronica, pop, rock, traditional Latinx and interactive projects. A multi-instrumentalist, he has a penchant for old synths as well as indigenous instruments.

As a film composer, Jorge has worked with an impressive array of international directors, all award-winning, including Adrian Pallares (MX), Mauricio Donoso (USA), Emmanuel Fabiyi (UK), and Olaf Rudolfsen (Norway). He won Best Original Score at the Vesuvius International Film Festival for his work on the film Acceptance. Many of these collaborations have resulted in films with high honors, most especially for De Familia, which stars the well-known Mexican actress, Arcelia Ramirez.

His operas feature cutting-edge topics such as Mexico's drug traffic crisis, on the revocation of DACA, and on the pandemic. I Am A Dreamer Who No Longer Dreams has been performed multiple times throughout the United States and México. Alice in the Pandemic, written during lockdown, is a groundbreaking work that features synchronized remote singers, animation, and motion capture, and has the special distinction of being archived in the Library of Congress as part of their Pandemic Response Collection. His Generación Perdida is on the human rights crisis in Mexico, and is slated to premiere at La Mama in New York in July 2025.

Jorge holds multiple degrees, culminating in a doctorate in composition and electronic music from the University of Missouri Kansas City. Originally from Mexico City, at present Jorge lives in New York City, and teaches composition at Molloy University.
