Bernat Vivancos i Farràs (Barcelona, ​​1973) is a Catalan composer and professor of composition and orchestration at the ESMUC, since 2003. The son of a family of musicians, he was part of the Escolania de Montserrat. He then completed his piano and composition studies with Maria Canals and David Padrós in Barcelona. He later moved to the French capital, to study composition, orchestration and musical analysis with various professors at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et Dansa in Paris. The year 2000 marks a turning point in his career, with the discovery of the music of the Norwegian composer Lasse Thoresen, which led him to move to Oslo to further his studies. This stage will mark his musical career from that moment. His music is characterized by being rich in colors and textures, combining the modality of the Western tradition with the search for spirituality based on a spectral harmonic inspiration.

In 2007 he was appointed musical director of the Escolania de Montserrat, a position he held until 2014. He was the guest composer of the 2014-2015 season at the Palau de la Música Catalana together with Arvo Pärt.

During 2019 he has collaborated with international pop singers, such as Rosalía, who at the Goya Awards gala sang an arrangement of the song Me quedo contigo by Los Chunguitos accompanied by the Cor Jove of the Orfeó Català. He has also collaborated with singer Jennifer Lopez on the choral arrangements of the song Limitless from the American tour that began on June 7, 2019 with the title It's my party: a life celebration.
