本场音乐会作曲家与作品简介

Grace Wang  (USA)

Grace has been composing for one year, while she's played the piano for 11 years and the cello for 4. She received First Prize in the International Festival DONNE in MUSICA Composition Competition 2023 and an Honorable Mention in the XVII Golden Key Piano Composition Competition. Last summer, she was one of 30 young composers accepted from around the world to the Juilliard School’s Summer Composition program. She enjoys composing music because it is so expressive and emotional, and she tries to tell a story in each of her compositions.
A Variegated Farewell

Five years ago, I cried as I said goodbye to my Chinese relatives, who I haven't seen again since. I recently reminisced over this and all the farewells that I've said, and realized that my sadness came from a happy place, and I grieved because I'd enjoyed being with them. This piece travels through the emotions I've felt on saying farewell, with its many contrasts embodying my varied feelings. “A Variegated Farewell” is dedicated to everyone I've said goodbye to, especially those I haven't seen again. Leaving them has been painful, but it's only because being with them was wonderful.

Xuanqi Shang (China)

Xuanqi Shang is a bachelor's student in the Department of Composition at the Central Conservatory of Music, studying under the composer Professor Chang Ping. During his time at the High School Affiliated to the Central Conservatory of Music, he began to study composition under the famous composers Professor Chang Ping, Professor Xu Zhitong, Professor Tian Tian and pianist Tong Wei. With his work "I hate all the farewell", he became one of the five winners of the first musicON International Composition Competition in 2022, receiving a $1,000 prize and a commission for a musicON concert.

The Birdsong  *Commissioned by the musicON Festival
After listening to Messiaen's work "The Book of Horses", it triggered me to think about the sound of horses. I started sitting by the window and listening to the birds. I suddenly realized that such sounds had always been present in my life, so I chose to record the rhythm of the calls in my journal and try to record the beatmap of the group of people I imagined in the communication with multiple parts. It's also another interpretation of these sounds that have always been in my life.


Jiaqi Liu  (USA)
Jacky Jiaqi Liu (b. 2002) is a Chinese-born US-based composer interested in the intersection of culture, literature, and social justice. Liu is currently studying Composition (BM) at The Juilliard School under the guidance of Melinda Wagner.

Liu's work has been performed across the U.S., Europe, South Korea, and China. Liu has collaborated with The Juilliard Orchestra and members of Bangor Symphony Orchestra.

Heart! We Will Forget Him!
Love can be sometimes fragile, capricious, and intangible, with emotions that ebb and flow, moment to moment. During this past year, while living in this dazzling world with its high-speed rate of change, I was left with feelings both reflective and mercurial. As those memories linger in my mind, I feel a strong connection towards this poem, and I set up this piece based on the elements I extracted from the poem while I was reading: a lasting tension, a surrounding melancholy, and an ultimate relief.

Revival and Growth

A dream is floating in and awaking, touching the wind blows from afar, interspersing with clouds. The rain falls intermittently as it swings, touching the earth, the rivers and ponds, awakening the living. As the cells divide, everything is under preparation with joy, despite being busy.Breaking free of gravity, light travels through time and space, the photons rapidly shoot onto each happiness cell. It's the night, when the flowers are dreaming. It's dawn, when the earthworms are turning over the soil. As the insect hatches, the dead branches have green shoots, the earth is reckless. It's a farewell to the past, everything in changing from dawn to dusk. the spring currents blow, the wind is strong, day, night, murmuring, emanating, chaos, silence, .... The seeds are dancing, with floating dreams...


Bo Dai (China)
Dai Bo is a young Chinese composer, pianist, and a faculty member of the Composition Department at the Central Conservatory of Music. His orchestral work The Invisible Mountain won second prize at the 2014 Beethoven Society International Composition Competition and toured in Poland and Norway the following year. In 2015, he was commissioned by the Adam Mickiewicz Institute in Poland to compose the Vojski Horn Concerto, which premiered in Warsaw. Dai Bo's vocal suite The Call of Dawn received funding from the National Arts Fund's 2015 Young Artistic Talent Creation Project. In 2018, Dai Bo composed the original score for Plants That Changed the World, China's first large-scale, ten-part documentary on plants, recorded by the International Master Philharmonic Orchestra.

Footprints in the Sands of Time

The work features the short tone of the folk song style of the southwestern China, only in a different musical context and juxtaposed with inhomogeneous/ mismatched/ unexpected music lexicon. It creates the impression of omnipresent sound of the traditional music, but one that flourished on a totally strange land. It is as if, in a time of instantaneous changes, each individual had the memory severed from his part of the history. All may have their Neverland, which they can never return, and yet none readily undertakes such return. This paradox renders our conception of time more post-modern, like items wrapped in the cloak of creation, albeit the alienation from the tradition.


Yiming Wu  (USA)

Yiming Wu is a Chinese-American composer, educator, founder of Mayflower Art Center and Co-founder of the musicON chamber orchestra and MusicON Festival.

Yiming 's original concert music has been performed worldwide by notable orchestras such as the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra, the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, Belgium Royal Wind Orchestra, Beijing Symphony Orchestra, etc.

Vision

The flute solo piece "Vision" consists of three sections: ABA. It depicts the hazy imagery and tranquil qualities of a pastoral shepherd's life. However, the expression is not traditional; it incorporates a significant amount of microtones that intersperse the pure sound of the shepherd's flute. The delicate nuances of breath, along with vivid imagery of light and color, expand the imagination of a calming space. Even noise paints a dreamy wonderland, creating a fresh and interesting experience that reflects the fusion of modern musical techniques with Eastern sensibilities.


Emily Chen  (USA)
Emily Chen is a passionate young composer and pianist inspired by both classical and modern music. For her composition work, she was recognized by the London Young Musician competition where she won a silver prize in the original composition category. She made her piano debut in Carnegie Hall as a prize winner of the American Protege International Piano Competition. She was also a participant in the inaugural Juilliard Summer Composition Intensive, where she learned from seminars with guest composers and presented her work. Emily lives in Southern California, where she is passionate about dancing and trying new foods in addition to music.

Beyond Our First Goodbye

This piece arose from muddy visions of gold and pink, a lazy day spent daydreaming. It is tinged with hope and melancholy—the lingering uncertainty of meeting someone again, the warmth that comes after a fateful encounter. The main motif is simple and wandering, lingering between fast and slow notes to build a feeling of uncertainty. The second section of the piece has a repeated motif and shifting harmonic contexts, conveying a sense of movement and forwardness. As the motif develops in complexity, it also becomes more convoluted like a memory being embellished. The ending is a representation of mental acceptance—through the journey taken, the dreams in the beginning are consolidated and given meaning.


Shenying Qian (China)

Shen-Ying Qian, Composer, Associate Professor of Composition at Shanghai Conservatory of Music. 

His music is influenced deeply by natural phenomenon and eastern philosophy, drawing its inspiration from the expression structure in literature, visual arts and architecture, pursuing the reflection on the duality and the contradiction in his sound organizing process.
