I value the performer’s perspective and insights. Composition should always include communication and exchanging ideas with them.
I was able to join several music festivals such as International Rondalla Festival, Yilan International Children’s Folklore and Folkgame Festival, EthnoFrance, Asean Youth Ensemble, China-Asean Music Festival, Zfestival, and Charlotte New Music Festival. These experiences opened doors for me to collaborate with artists not just in Asia but across the world.
Sample Works
B O S E S (voice) performed by the Harlem String Quartet

UPDATES
I accepted the offer from the University of British Columbia for a Doctor of Musical Arts in Music Composition!
I got a full scholarship and aside from the full tuition waiver and stipend, I was also offered a teaching assistantship and will be teaching composition and aural skills with additional funding. I am excited to be a part of the UBC Community!
