The Guild commissions local composers especially for the festival and their works are given premiere by both local and international artists.

Chan Ka-nin Harp Concerto - for Harp and String Orchestra 陳嘉年生於香港，1965年隨家人移居溫哥華。在英屬哥倫比亞大學攻讀電子工程學士學位期間，隨 Jean Coulthard 學習作曲。畢業後到印第安納大學隨Bernhard Heiden學習作曲，其後取得音樂的碩士及博士學位。自1982 年至今於多倫多大學任教音樂理論及作曲。 陳氏獲獎無數，包括以下作曲比賽獎項：巴托克國際作曲家比賽、Barlow國際比賽、國際圓號協會作曲比賽、Jean Chalmers獎、PROCAN 年青作曲家比賽、Amherst色士風四重奏作曲比賽，並曾兩度獲得Juno最佳古典音樂作曲獎。 陳氏的作品織體明亮，經常運用異國樂器音色。樂評界形容他的作品「感性」、「令人難忘」、「細緻」。他時常從親身經歷中擷取靈感創作，例如女兒的出生、父親的逝世、精神上的渴求、和大自然的接近、對環境的關注等。 陳氏近年的創作包括：2022年1月由敲擊樂手Antti Ohenoja和弦樂四重奏在赫爾辛基首演的《漫長的冬天》、2023年由Naomi Woo指揮溫尼伯交響樂團首演的《迎春》、第二齣完整的歌劇《龍的故事》（2023年6月在多倫多光影藝術節首演）、2023年為意大利長笛手Luisa Sello而作的《長笛協奏曲：西西里女巫》（由Sinfonia Toronto首演）。此長笛協奏曲其後於2024年11月由 Luisa Sello 和 Penderecki 弦樂四重奏於意大利八個城市巡迴演出。 Chan Ka-nin was born in Hong Kong and moved with his family to Vancouver in 1965. At the University of British Columbia, he studied composition with Jean Coulthard while pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering. After graduation he decided to continue studying composition with Bernhard Heiden at Indiana University where he eventually obtained his Master’s and Doctoral degrees in music. Since 1982, he has been teaching theory and composition at the University of Toronto. His numerous international awards include Béla Bartók International Composers’ Competition, Barlow International Competitions, International Horn Society Composition Contest, Jean Chalmers Award, PROCAN Young Composers’ Competition and Amherst Saxophone Quartet Composition Competition, as well as two Juno Awards for Best Classical Compositions. Characteristically luminous in texture and exotic in instrumental colours, Chan’s music has been described by critics as “sensuous,” “haunting,” and “intricate.” The composer often draws his inspiration directly from his personal experiences: for example, the birth of one of his daughters, the death of his father, his spiritual quests, or his connection to nature and concern for the environment. His recent work, Pikä Talvi (Long Winter), was premiered by percussionist Antti Ohenoja and a string quartet in Helsinki in January 2022. Welcoming Spring was premiered by Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra under Naomi Woo in 2023. His second full length opera Dragon’s Tale was premiered in June 2023 during Luminato at Harbourfront in Toronto. In the same year his Flute Concerto: Doñas de fuera for Italian flutist Luisa Sello was premiered by Sinfonia Toronto. In November 2024, this work was showcased on an 8-city tour by flutist Luisa Sello and the Penderecki String Quartet in Italy. 《豎琴協奏曲》 我深感榮幸獲得出色的豎琴演奏家孫尹婷委約創作一首豎琴協奏曲，而這是我創作的第一首豎琴協奏曲。我同時要感謝指揮大師Nurhan Arman對這項委約的大力支持，他領導下的Sinfonia Toronto於過去數年曾出色地演出我數首作品。 這首豎琴協奏曲於2021-22年新冠病毒大流行期間創作，因此我想到那些受病毒影響以及身體衰弱的人士，當中包括我94歲的母親。母親近年患上了失智症，我感覺她的認知障礙越來越嚴重。這首作品可以說是對她堅強性格及聰穎資質的回憶，同時也將是她繽紛的一生的回憶。 此作品以描繪母親的狀況開始：孤獨而無法與人溝通。之後我以一首豐富的旋律，代表她緬懷年青時充滿活力的日子以及她所愛的丈夫，她並開始唱起這首歌。樂曲結尾表達她與認知障礙共存的韌性。 我非常感謝孫尹婷委約我創作此曲，以及Ontario Arts Council, Toronto Arts Council, Sinfonia Toronto 的大力支持。 Harp Concerto When harpist Teresa Suen-Campbell asked me to write a harp concerto, I was thrilled because she is a wonderful harpist, and this will be my first concerto for this beautiful instrument. I am very grateful to Maestro Nurhan Arman for his support in commissioning this project. Sinfonia Toronto has kindly performed a few of my compositions in the past years under his superb direction. As this piece was written during the pandemic (2021-22), my thoughts have been with vulnerable people, including my 94-year-old mother who has developed dementia in recent years. As I gradually lose my connection with her, this work will be my memory of this strong and wise woman. At the same time, this could also be her memories of her colourful life. The piece begins with a description of her surroundings: lonely and unable to communicate with others. She is resolved to think of her energetic youthful time and her beloved husband in the form of a song, which she begins to sing to herself. The piece ends with her resilience against the state of disillusionment. The composer wishes to thank the Ontario Arts Council and the Toronto Arts Council, Sinfonia Toronto, and Teresa Suen-Campbell for commissioning this work.

The piece takes the listener on a journey through the emotional and mental states of the poem’s protagonist, who waits for his friend to arrive. The melodic motifs throughout the piece are derived from the Cantonese tones of the poem’s closing line, “孤琴候蘿徑”, pronounced as: gu1 kam4 hau6 lo4 ging3.

While illnesses bring sadness and struggles, life ends and transforms. The title means the four main elements along the process. Sigh, a symbol of sadness, is represented by descending glissandi. Breath, a symbol of life, is represented by air noise. They develop and progress into a variety of outbursts and textures. All of these are ended by the inevitable. But her life continues in form of DNA, generating energy quietly in the mitochondrion of every cell in the composer’s body. As she converted to Christianity at the end of her life, the hymn Amazing Grace is used as a source material to conclude the piece.

Whether writing for an orchestra or electronic textures, Cheng’s music embraces abstract worlds and emotions with the goal of igniting listeners’ imaginations. His orchestral works have been performed by prestigious orchestras including Czech National Symphony Orchestra, Surrey Philharmonic Orchestra, City Chamber Orchestra of Hong Kong and Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra. Cheng has published over 70 pieces of contemporary works, more than 200 pop songs and commercial music production for TVC, feature films and theatrical works, much of his music is released on CDs and digital medias such as Apple Music, Spotify, Netflix, Disney+, etc. His classical works have been performed and broadcast across Asia Pacific, Europe and South America.

Clinton once said, “a composer interprets a film dramatically and expresses it musically. It’s true that the composer is a translator who takes a storyline and turns it into music, but it’s not so much the musical notes the film needs as much as it is the emotion that flows from those notes.” Unlike concert music, film composers must work within the constraints of the motion pictures and support the picture while maintaining structural cohesion of the music. They must fashion their music around the picture, following all the twists and turns. However, concert music is free of these constraints. This series of works, named "Film Music Fiesta," is designed to maintain the storytelling, emotional arousal, and structural cohesion of the movie on the one hand; and on the other hand, to retain the integrity of the works written for concert performance, giving the music a new impact, attractiveness and artistic merits. "Stranger Things" is a sci-fi and horror drama, claimed as a blockbuster of NETFLIX in recent years. Through a new understanding of this drama, I keep writing musical motives, harmonies and textures with eccentric touches, by blending the imaginative writing style of contemporary music as well as grasping the orchestration techniques commonly used in film soundtracks, to give the audience a refreshing feeling. Chris Hung Symphonic Apologue "Of Lion Rock Memento" for Chamber Orchestra (2024) 洪銘健 香港作曲家洪銘健博士的音樂首次獲得國際稱譽，是在2010年德國達姆施塔特夏季現代音樂節中，其作品《無盡聲景》由美國國際當代樂團首演。評論界稱這首作品「美妙地喚起……在一種有序的混亂中」、「對現代音樂聲音平衡的細緻嘗試」。 洪氏作品一個顯著特徵，是經常加上近似萬花筒般的許多細節，並且融合東西文化的風格。其作品多樣化，包括器樂獨奏、管弦樂、影像配樂、合唱音樂等共約80部。他的樂譜由奧地利Universal Edition (UE)、法國BabelScores 和英國Trübcher Music Editions出版。 在過去的二十年中，洪博士的作品曾在超過二十個國家發表，包括歐洲、美國和亞洲國家的多個重要音樂節，如2015中國北京現代音樂節、 2015斯洛文尼亞ISCM世界音樂日、芬蘭西貝流士150週年慶典、2017克羅地亞薩格勒布音樂雙年展、第五屆首爾玩具鋼琴音樂節2024等。他曾擔任2010英國CoMA新音樂作曲大師班、2013新加坡華樂團工作坊和2021 Nexus Ensemble的駐團作曲家。 此外，洪氏獲得多項國際作曲比賽獎項，如美國波士頓ALEA III國際作曲比賽（一等獎）、保加利亞Sofia 2013國際作曲比賽（一等獎）；波蘭I. J. Paderewski音樂學院國際作曲家比賽（二等獎）、2024星海音樂學院第一屆器樂創新創意大賽（二等獎）；美國中美作曲家作曲比賽、新加坡華樂團作曲比賽及芬蘭西貝流士國際作曲比賽（入圍獎）等。 他目前擔任香港作曲家聯會秘書（行政），並曾於2018年代表香港出席在匈牙利布達佩斯舉行的第65屆國際作曲家交流會議。 洪博士持有香港中文大學音樂博士學位，師從陳永華教授和陳偉光教授。洪氏現於香港中文大學專業進修學院、香港浸會大學持續教育學院、伯樂音樂學院及其他音樂院校任教。 Chris Hung Described as “beautifully evoked…in a type of ordered chaos,” “meticulous attempt on the balance of the sound of modern music,” the music of Hong Kong composer Chris Hung first gained international recognition in 2010, with his work Infinite Soundscape premiered by International Contemporary Ensemble (USA) at the Darmstadt Summer Course in Germany. One of the salient features of Hung’s compositions is his use of kaleidoscopic details, merging different cultural styles from the East and the West. His diverse oeuvre includes an array of about 80 works from instrumental solo to orchestral music, as well as audio-visual works and choral music. His scores are published by Universal Edition (Austria), BabelScores (France) and Trübcher Music Editions (UK). Over the past twenty years, Hung’s works have been performed and broadcast over twenty countries in Europe, USA and Asia in various leading festivals, such as Beijing Modern Music Festival (China), ISCM World Music Days (Slovenia), Sibelius 150th Anniversary Celebration (Finland), Music Biennale Zagreb (Croatia) and recently in the 5th Seoul Toy Piano Music Festival 2024, etc. He was composer-fellow in 2010 CoMA New Music Residency (UK), Singapore Chinese Orchestra Workshop 2013 and composer-in-residence 2021 of Nexus Ensemble. In addition, Hung was a recipient of numerous international composition awards, such as ALEA III International Composition Competition (USA) (First Prize), “Sofia 2013” International Composition Competition (Bulgaria) (First Prize); International Composers’ Competition of the I. J. Paderewski Academy of Music (Poland) (Second Prize) and 2024 Xinghai Conservatory of Music First Instrumental Music Innovation and Creativity Composition Competition (Second Prize); EarShot: China – U.S. Composers Competition (USA), Singapore Chinese Orchestra Composition Competition, International Jean Sibelius Composition Competition (Finland) (Finalists) among others. He currently serves as Secretary (Administration) of the Hong Kong Composers’ Guild. He was the Hong Kong Representative attending the 65th International Rostrum of Composers held in Budapest, Hungary in 2018. Dr. Hung holds a Doctor of Music degree from the Chinese University of Hong Kong. He received guidance under the tutelage of Prof. Chan Wing Wah and Prof. Victor Chan. He currently teaches music in the School of Continuing and Professional Studies, Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUSCS), School of Continuing Education, Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU, SCE), Baron School of Music and other music institutions in Hong Kong. Website: http://chris-hung.com Apologue 這首作品是紀念我們的地標獅子山，其中運用的粵語流行曲《獅子山下》，觸動了無數香港人的心靈。 過去二十多年中，香港經歷了兩次重大疫情 （SARS 和 Covid-19），在作品的中間部份我運用了一些摘錄自《獅子山下》的旋律，但呈現一個變奏版本，代表模糊的追憶。對於不同的聽眾來說，這可能會有不同的解釋。 這首樂曲的另一個突出特點是很多地方也使用了弦樂分部，這個概念賦予了微觀織體，擴展了聽眾的聲音體驗。從字面上看，“Apologue”一詞是指用虛構的故事來闡明一定的道理，達到警示、教育或諷刺的目的。我不解釋為何我用上了這個字，就當作一個謎吧！ Apologue The composition is a musical memento (remembrance) about our landmark Lion Rock, a mountain in Hong Kong, in which the popular Canto-pop song Below the Lion Rock has touched numerous souls of Hong Kong people. In the past years, Hong Kong has experienced two major pandemics, namely SARS and Covid-19, and I would like to use a few melodic excerpts in Below the Lion Rock to present a variant version, representing a blurred recollection and remembrance that could possibly be interpreted differently by different audiences. Another prominent feature in this piece is the use of string divisi, a concept to give a microscopic texture that expands the audiences’ sonic experience. Literally, the word “Apologue” means a literary work that uses fictitious stories to illustrate a certain truth and achieve the purpose of admonition, education or satire. I would not explain why I use this vocabulary and sometimes leaving it as an enigma would serve well as well. Wong Chun-wai Reverie - A Flight with Birds for Chamber Orchestra 黃俊諱的作品橫跨室內樂、管弦樂、音樂劇及影片配樂。他常把不同類型的音樂風格融合，並以聲音營造氣氛、情景，讓聽眾沉浸於仿如多媒體藝術的創作。最近他以浪漫派的意念建構作品，同時加入各種現代音樂元素，發展「廿一世紀（後期）浪漫主義」。 他的作品獲獎無數，多次於歐美、亞洲演出（包括ISCM國際現代音樂節、國際作曲家論壇、亞洲作曲家聯盟論壇及音樂節、亞洲青年管弦樂團世界巡迴演出）並出版。他曾與香港管弦樂團（盛宗亮、廖國敏等指揮）、德國國際現代合奏音樂學院（IEMA）、紐約愛樂交響樂團的成員、演奏家姜東錫、Jan-Erik Gustafsson等合作。他曾獲梵志登大師委約創作小提琴與大提琴雙協奏曲，作為他的 60 歲生辰禮物。 他的配樂作品於國際影展Sound and Image Challenge Festival 及Pink City International Short Film Festival等上映。黃氏亦致力於編曲，由包括Nick Vujicic、潘迪華及Harry哥哥等藝人、歌手及團體演出。 詳見http://www.wongchunwaimusic.com。 Wong Chun-wai has a versatile composition profile comprising concert music, musicals and film scores. He often infuses different musical languages to evoke atmospheres and sceneries, engaging audiences with quasi-multimedia-art experiences. He is also interested in incorporating contemporary musical ideas into the (Late) Romantic musical language. Winning multiple awards across the globe, his compositions are featured in international events such as the International Rostrum of Composers, ISCM World Music Days, ACL (Asian Composers League) Festival and the Asian Youth Orchestra World Tour; and are published by the PARMA Recordings, Ablaze Records (United States), Europa Musica Publishing (France) among others. His music is performed and recorded by prominent groups and musicians including the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra (with Jaap van Zweden, Bright Sheng, Sebastian Perłowski and others), Internationale Ensemble Modern Akademie, performers from the New York Philharmonic and soloists including Dong-Suk Kang and Jan-Erik Gustafsson. He was commissioned a Double Concerto by maestro Jaap van Zweden for his 60th birthday. Films he scored are featured in international festivals including the Sound and Image Challenge Festival and Pink City International Short Film Festival. His arrangements have been performed by renowned groups and artists such as Nick Vujicic and Rebecca Pan Di-hua.

A silent wish to fly high Finds its voice in a dream, And birds upon the road remind How lovely it would seem. Reverie – A Flight with Birds evokes the sensation of soaring alongside birds, celebrating freedom and grace through a rich tapestry of sound. It is my hope that this piece offers a temporary escape, relieving the stresses and depressions of life. The composition juxtaposes the timeless nature of dreams with the dynamic essence of flight, continuously layering these contrasting elements. Lyrical melodies and slow harmonic rhythms capture the stillness of dream, while rapid accompaniments and counterpoints convey the energy of flight. Throughout the piece, bird calls – particularly those of the Black-collared Starling, Sparrow, and American Robin – serve as recurring musical motives, inspired by my personal experiences of nature. The music draws on a spiraling anhemitonic pentatonic scale and a spiraling hemitonic pentatonic scale as the primary pitch materials. Additionally, the cyclical whole-tone scale contributes a subtle role. The interplay between these directionless materials and their contrasting diatonic counterparts reflects the elusive nature of flight within the context of a dream. This piece serves as a companion to my piano quartet What Birds Tell Me - Meditation and Epiphany (2021), incorporating inversions of melodies from this older piece. Reverie – A Flight with Birds is commissioned by the Hong Kong Composers’ Guild and premiered by the City Chamber Orchestra of Hong Kong. P.S. Could the dream never end?

INTRODUCTION France and Hong Kong Exchange Concert 法國香港交流音樂會 Hong Kong Contemporary Music Festival 2020: Asian Delights 香港當代音樂節 2020：亞洲薈萃 Contemporary Wind Band Compositions by Hong Kong Composers 香港作曲家管樂團作品匯萃 France and Hong Kong Exchange Concert 法國香港交流音樂會 1/5 Founded in 1983, the Hong Kong Composers' Guild (HKCG) is a professional association of serious composers with objectives to promote and cultivate music composition in Hong Kong. Apart from organising concerts, publishing scores and producing recordings of works by Hong Kong composers, HKCG also takes an active part in arousing interest in composition especially amongst youths and in developing music as a vital creative art form in Hong Kong. Organising composition competitions and sending composers to the community and schools are its regular activities. HKCG works closely with professional musicians and institutions in not just concert performances, but orchestration workshops, field trips, forum, commissions, and community services. As one of the cultural ambassadors of our city, HKCG has also established strong links with many international organisations and has played a significant role in international music exchanges. HKCG's predecessor is the Hong Kong Section of the Asian Composers League which was founded in 1973. HKCG is also a National Section of the International Society for Contemporary Music. It also co-operates with RTHK to send a composer as representative to the International Rostrum of Composers each year. Since July 2010, HKCG has become one of the Year Grantees of the Hong Kong Arts Development Council.
