Tomorrow (July 8) I will fly to Bangkok, Thailand for participating the Eighth Thailand International Composition Festival (TICF). My piece, Unbearable Pain and Watery Eyes (2012) for violin, percussion and piano, was selected as one of twelve finalists in the TICF Composition Competition, and will be premiered at the music auditorium (MACM Hall) of Mahidol University on July 14 (10am). I was invited to participate the TICF from July 9 to 14 to attend all the concerts and lectures, and get the feedback of my piece in the Masterclass. I am looking forward to my trip to Bangkok.

By the way, I will travel to Bangkok from July 8 to 18. In these days I will have two pieces performing in Taiwan. Ballade (2012) for violin and percussion will be premiered tomorrow night (7pm, July 8) at the Miaoli International Culture and Tourism Bureau Concert Hall by violinist Yu-Hao Chang and percussionist Sayun Chang. Cave Railroad (2011) for solo alto saxophone will have Taiwan premiered performance at the YAMAHA Artists Service Center (Taipei) by saxophonist Po-Fang Chang on July 17. Although I am not able to attend these two concerts, I believe the performances will be fantastic. Please visit the “Performances” page to get more information of concerts.

 明天（7月8日）我要啟程去泰國曼谷參加「第八屆泰國國際作曲音樂節」。我寫給小提琴、打擊跟鋼琴的《難以承受的痛楚與眼眶的淚》被選為該音樂節作曲比賽的12個決選作品之一，而且此曲會在7月14日上午10點於泰國曼谷的瑪希隆大學音樂學院音樂廳世界首演。我也被邀請去參加這個音樂節（7月9日到14日）的所有音樂會跟講座，而且這個曲子也會在大師班獲得客席作曲家的意見。我很期待這次的曼谷之行。

另外，在7月8日到18日我會旅行到泰國曼谷，這段期間我有兩個曲子也會在台灣被演出。寫給小提琴與打擊的《敘事曲》會在明天（7月8日）晚上七點的「台灣原住民族音樂饗宴」音樂會上，由小提琴家張祐豪與打擊家張幼欣世界首演，地點在苗栗縣國際文化觀光局演藝廳。寫給獨奏中音薩克斯風的《山隧鐵道》在7月17日也會有薩克斯風家張柏方進行的台灣首演，地點在台北YAMAHA音樂家服務中心。雖然我無法出席這兩場音樂會，但是我相信演出會是很棒的。請至「演出記錄」頁面獲得更多音樂會的資訊。
