JH COMPOSER

VIVIAN FUNG

June 22nd world premiere of Birdsong with Kristin Lee, violin, and Conor Hanick, piano, for the  Delaware Chamber Music Festival.  

BIRDSONG is scheduled for 

Repeat performances in September

at the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia, and in New York City.  

Vivian Fung has distinguished herself as a composer with a unique and powerful compositional voice.  Since earning her doctorate from The Juilliard School in 2002, Fung has forged her own approach, often merging Western forms with non-Western influences such as Balinese and Javanese gamelan and folk songs from the minority regions of China.  The New York Times has pronounced her work “evocative,” and the Chicago Tribune described her recent Yunnan Folk Songs as conveying “a winning rawness that went beyond exoticism.”
