Hsin-Ying Chen Vocal Recital 2024

It is my pleasure to know that my On the Island for High Voice and Piano will receive its Taiwan premiere on July 7 at National Recital Hall (Taipei, Taiwan). This works includes 10 songs based on Chen Li’s poem “On the Island” from The Cat at the Mirror. It will be performed by Soprano Hsin-Ying Chen and pianist Chun-Hua Weng in their recital. I am planning to go back to Taiwan for attending this concert as well.

This song cycle was composed for my graduation recital at the Eastman School of Music. The recording of the world premiere performance can be listened in poet Chen Li’s website, and the link is below –
