Alyssa Ryvers is a contemporary composer creating interdisciplinary works in the classical music tradition. O douce Providence, Alyssa’s collaboration with the Duplessis Orphans, began in 2013, as an artistic response to learning that the hundreds of shock treatments her mother underwent as a young woman in Montréal occurred within a larger context of systemic psychiatric medical abuses taking place in Quebec during that same period.
