成俊曦

SHING Chun-hay identifies creativity with its power to inspire new perception of music, art and life. His works have travelled across continents, performed in concerts and music festivals in—to name some recent locations—Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Thailand, Russia and the USA.


He has been named the winner of Rapee Sagarik Composition Award in the 15th Thailand International Composers Competition in 2019 for his piano quartet light-dark (Chiaroscuro). In 2018, his All memories are moistened, selected from over 800 anonymous submissions, was a finalist in Moscow State Conservatory's International Competition for Young Composers “New Classics”. It was subsequently premiered at Rachmaninov Hall and in the following year reprogrammed in a concert of Studio for New Music (Moscow, Russia).


As a composer, Shing has worked with many musicians in his native Hong Kong and overseas, including pianist Mary Wu, conductor Lio Kuokman, Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra, Hong Kong Band Directors Association Wind Orchestra, Hong Kong New Music Ensemble, Ensemble Kochi (Japan), Juventas New Music Ensemble (Boston, USA), and Ensemble Mise-en (New York, USA). His music has been featured in Taipei International Choral Competition, Asian Composers League's Asian Music Festival (Tokyo, Japan), the first anniversary of Asia Culture Center (Gwangju, South Korea), and at the Esplanade in Singapore.


His other accolades include the First Prize of New Generation 2015, David Gwilt Composition Prize, Composers and Authors Society of Hong Kong Scholarship and Talent Development Scholarship. Alea Publishing and Recording has published his Moon over the West River, for clarinet and piano.


Shing obtained his Doctor of Music degree in composition at The Chinese University of Hong Kong under Professor Wendy Wan-ki Lee, having been supported by a full scholarship from Hong Kong Jockey Club Music and Dance Fund.
