Vanessa Lann (Brooklyn, Nova York, 6 d'abril, 1968), és una compositora neerlandesa-nord-americana que viu als Països Baixos.[1][2]

Lann és coneguda per les composicions contemporànies per a instruments infrautilitzats com el clarinet baix,[3] el fagot[4][5] i el piano de joguina.{nota, 1}[6] Les seves composicions han estat emeses a la ràdio,[7] gravades en discos compactes[3] i interpretades en festivals de música a Europa i Amèrica del Nord. Ha escrit nombrosos tipus de composicions, inclosos concerts i òperes.[8] El 1990, va ser directora musical de l'"American Repertory Theatre".[9] El crític David Toub va descriure la seva música com "interpretada per experts".[10] El crític musical del New York Times, Allan Kozinn va descriure la seva composició Is a Bell ... a Bell? com una "partitura rítmica impulsiva" que era encantadora amb el seu ús de dos pianos de joguina per treure "diferents qualitats tímbriques".[6] El crític musical Jed Distler va descriure les seves composicions com "una escriptura de teclat i humor amable."[11] Música holandesa. La crítica del diari de "Volkskrant"", Frits van der Waa, ha revisat la seva música en nombroses ocasions. Va descriure la seva òpera d'una hora de durada The Silence of Saar el 2013 com una "sèrie interminable de variacions al·lucinants".[12] Va descriure la seva música el 2005 com una "tensió sucosa intensa però dolça"[13] i la seva composició per a el Festival de Música de Cambra de Delft l'any 2007 com "preciosa".[14]
