Born in Bregenz, studied composition and music theory with Beat Furrer in Graz and then with Erich Urbanner in Vienna; there she studied film and media composition with Klaus Peter Sattler. Johanna Doderer's music holds its ground in the major concert halls of the world; her music has long been loved and received by internationally successful artists. Thus the cooperation and friendship with outstanding performers, starting with Patricia Kopatchinskaja, Marlis Petersen, Angelika Kirchschlager, Yury Revich, Nikola Djoric, Konstantin Manaev to Harriet Krijgh, constitute the essence of her work. In 2014 Johanna Doderer was awarded the Ernst Krenek Prize of the City of Vienna.
