SUMMARY:Meet the Composer: Anthony Cheung
DESCRIPTION:MEET THE COMPOSER: ANTHONY CHEUNG \nAn opportunity to learn about and experience the creative process of a living composer. These distinguished artists will discuss aspects of their music and inspirations.  \nComposer and pianist Anthony Cheung writes music that explores the senses\, a wide palette of instrumental play and affect\, improvisational traditions\, reimagined musical artifacts\, and multiple layers of textual meaning. Described as “gritty\, inventive and wonderfully assured” (San Francisco Chronicle) and praised for its “instrumental sensuality” (Chicago Tribune)\, his music reveals an interest in the ambiguity of sound sources and constantly shifting transformations of tuning and timbre. Representations of space and place are achieved through allusions in spatialization\, orchestration\, and recorded sound. \nAnthony Cheung has been commissioned by leading groups such as the Ensemble Modern\, Ensemble Intercontemporain\, Cleveland Orchestra (as the Daniel R. Lewis Young Composer Fellow)\, Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra\, Ensemble Musikfabrik\, Scharoun Ensemble Berlin\, and the International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE). His work “Lyra” was commissioned for the New York Philharmonic at the request of Henri Dutilleux\, as part of the orchestra’s inaugural Kravis Prize for New Music. The New York Times wrote of it\, “Mr. Cheung’s shimmering score makes a persuasive case for the Orpheus myth as part of a global collective consciousness.” In addition\, his music has been performed by the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France\, Chicago Symphony Orchestra (MusicNOW series)\, Minnesota Orchestra\, Ensemble Linea\, Le Nouvel Ensemble Moderne\, wild Up\, Musiques Nouvelles\, Atlas Ensemble\, Orchestra of the League of Composers\, Taipei Chinese Orchestra\, Orchestre National de Lorraine\, Orchestre National de Lille\, eighth blackbird\, Dal Niente\, the New York Youth Symphony\, and the San Francisco Symphony Youth Orchestra. More recently\, he has written new works for the Escher and Spektral Quartets\, violinist Jennifer Koh\, flutist Claire Chase\, oboist Ernest Rombout\, and pianists Gilles Vonsattel\, Shai Wosner\, and Joel Fan. \nThe recipient of a 2016 Guggenheim Fellowship\, he has also received awards from the American Academy of Arts and Letters (Charles Ives Fellowship and Scholarship) and ASCAP\, and first prize in the Sixth International Dutilleux Competition (2008)\, as well as a Rome Prize from the American Academy in Rome (2012). He has also received commissions from the Koussevitzky and Fromm foundations. \nCheung’s music has been programmed at international festivals such as Ultraschall (Berlin)\, Cresc. Biennale (Frankfurt)\, Présences (Paris)\, impuls (Graz)\, Wittener Tage\, Tanglewood\, Aspen\, Mostly Mozart\, Transit (Leuven)\, Heidelberger Frühling\, Helsinki Festival and Musica Nova Helsinki\, Centre Acanthes\, Musica (Strasbourg)\, and Nuova Consonanza (Rome).
