Concert Works

My music reflects on the relationship between nature, human experience, and life. As a Hong Kong–born composer, my current focus is integrating East Asian musical traditions with contemporary Western harmony. In particular, my works explore the possibilities of quartal and quintal harmony. My most recent composition, Lost In Time, has been performed by the Adler Quartet in the Holywell Music Room.

Moreover, I am active as a classical pianist. Trained in the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts with Dr. Cheng Wai, I have performed internationally in the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, the United States, and Hong Kong.

Matsu - for string orchestra (2026)

Premiered in The Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities (June 2026)

Matsu (まつ, 松), also known as Japanese pine, is a cultural symbol of resilience and inner strength. During a visit to Hokkaido in December, I encountered snow-covered shrines. While many trees stood bare and withered in the harsh winter conditions, the pine trees remained upright and green. It has inspired me to write a piece that reflects the pine's solitude and resilience in the winter. Traditional Japanese tone clusters, also known as aitake (合⽵), are used throughout the composition.

The Tale of a Moth - for violin and piano (2026)

Premiered in The Queen's College, Oxford (April 2026)

The patterns of nature have always fascinated me. One day, while watching a moth circling a lamp in my home, I began to think about its life journey. It begins life as a larva, then encloses itself in a cocoon and undergoes metamorphosis into a moth. However, just as it gains the ability to fly, it is drawn to the glow of light, circling endlessly until it falls lifeless to the ground. I hope this piece captures the fragile beauty and perhaps the tragedy of a moth’s life.

Lost in Time - for piano sextet (2026)

Premiered in Holywell Music Room with Adler Quartet (March 2026)

Duration: 15' 30''

I. The relentless flow of time

II. Distant memories

III. Time is a matrix

On the surface, time appears as a continuous flow from past to present to future. Yet beneath this rational logic lies a more subjective dimension of time, one shaped by memory, emotion and perception which differs from person to person. This three-movement work explores the various ways time is experienced and felt.

Petals - for unaccompanied SATB choir with divisi (2025)

Duration: 4'50''

Text by Amy Lowell (1874 – 1925)

Life is a stream
On which we strew
Petal by petal the flower of our heart;
The end lost in dream,
They float past our view,
We only watch their glad, early start.

Freighted with hope,
Crimsoned with joy,
We scatter the leaves of our opening rose;
Their widening scope,
Their distant employ,
We never shall know.

And the stream as it flows
Sweeps them away,
Each one is gone
Ever beyond into infinite ways.

We alone stay
While years hurry on,
The flower fared forth, though its fragrance still stays.
