Wrapping up the HKUST Music Alive! concert series for this school year, we premiered eight new works by my composition students at last night’s studio recital, alongside instrumental and chamber music students of violist Andrew Ling and pianist Amy Sze. Each piece was performed by the respective composer, with ensembles consisting of HKUST students and friends, plus guest artists Tete Bae (flute) and Ling Chen (violin). My first time ever playing chamber music that includes the guzheng!
