Sonia Megías has been awarded the Foundation for Iberian Music’s Composer’s Commission 2025. Born in Almansa, Spain, in 1982, composer, singer, and multidisciplinary artist, Megías’s works investigate arts through musical notation, which she calls rare scores, and which manifest themselves through video, choreography, and visual arts. They include skirt-scores, edible scores, video-scores, tactile scores, graphic scores, cartographies… She has shown these scores in exhibitions called Mono+Graphics. Her projects aim at social transformation through playfulness and ritual.

She has obtained many awards including public the Sonia Megías Classroom (Alicante, 2018), the Sonia Megías Library (Granada, 2022), Ambassador of the Festival ‘Una mirada diferente’ (Centro Dramático Nacional, 2018), or Resident Composer of the Choral Federation of Madrid (2017-2020). Recently, both the National Museum Thyssen-Bornemisza and the Spanish Agency for Cooperation and International Development (AECID) have published documentaries and books about her work.

She has also received numerous commissions from Ministry of Culture of Spain and artistic awards and grants such as the Fulbright Grant (New York, 2010-2012), with which I completed a Master’s degree in Music Composition at New York University. In 2011 I created the publishing house EdicionesDelantal and the experimental laboratory CoroDelantal, currently based in Madrid and at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Alicante (MACA).
