Ingrid Drese first studied piano, chamber music, music history, and music analysis, before signing up for the electroacoustic composition program at the Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) in Brussels, then for the same program at the RCM in Mons, in Annette Vande Gorne’s classroom, where she finished with a Prix supérieur in 1998.
