Micaela Hoppe (b. 1965, Jakobsberg) is a self-taught Swedish composer who has been writing music since childhood. Based in Västra Ämtervik, Värmland since 1997, she creates music that often crosses artistic boundaries, collaborating with filmmakers, playwrights, and other composers.
In 2008, she was named Composer of the Year by the Bergslagen Chamber Symphony Orchestra. Her work Blue Mountains Shimmer in Backlight was selected from over 140 submissions by female composers worldwide and premiered in 2016 by I Solisti Veneti under Claudio Scimone. That same year, her art video installation Unknown Land debuted at Värmlands Museum, and she received a scholarship from the Bengt Axelsson Cultural Foundation.
From 2016 to 2019, she co-composed Divina Commedia, based on Dante’s epic, with Norwegian composer Lars Audun Hadland, and continues to collaborate with playwright Christofer Bocker.
