Lise Borel is a French composer. She began her musical journey by studying piano, singing and classical dance at the Conservatoire de Suresnes. Her training with Frédérique Fontanarosa sparked her desire to compose. She then joined the Maîtrise des Hauts-de-Seine and then the Maîtrise de Radio France under the direction of Toni Ramon and then Sofi Jeannin. After her baccalaureate, she enrolled in a literary preparatory course with a music option, where she benefited from the teaching of Sabine Bérard. Lise then obtained a degree in Musicology at the Sorbonne Paris IV University and passed several prizes at the CRR in Boulogne Billancourt (Analysis with Naji Hakim, Orchestration with Pierre Farago, Musical Culture with Constance Luzzati, Writing with Fabien Touchard). She also took Jean-Luc Hervé's composition class and Ariel Alonso's choir conducting class at the Conservatoire du 18ème. Alongside her studies, she began teaching at the Maîtrise de Radio France in 2015 – composition, musical training, assistant choir director – and pursued her desire to pass on her knowledge by giving lectures (Ecole Normale Supérieure de Paris, workshops with Radio France and the French Ministry of Education). 

Lise taught piano at the Jaroussky Academy for six years and was also responsible for the Christmas programme at the Royal Abbey of Fontevraud in 2022. In her desire to promote heritage and creativity by combining different fields (literature, science, ecology, education, etc.), Lise has had the opportunity to participate in numerous residencies (Villa Swagatam in India in 2024, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory artistic residency on Long Island in 2024, Atacama Desert in Chile with La Wayaka Current 2022, Ircam in Paris with the Manifeste academy 2023, the Royal Abbey of Fontevraud 2021, the Académie Musicale de Villecroze 2020, etc.).
