Скачать или смотреть CCM Concert Orchestra premieres Siyuan Kang's "Coming Winter" (March 4, 2025)

The CCM Concert Orchestra performs the world premiere of graduate student composer Siyuan Kang's "Coming Winter." Graduate student Andrew Miller conducts. CCM faculty member Aik Khai Pung serves as music director for the CCM Concert Orchestra.

A Doctor of Musical Arts (DMA) student in CCM's Composition program, Kang was the winner of the CCM Composition Competition. Her piece, entitled "Coming Winter," is an exploration of seasons changing and the emotional world they evoke. The percussive, texturally complex piece evokes “the cold, occasional storms, and beneath it all, a hidden vitality — the potential for life that will emerge in spring,” says the composer.

Kang received guidance from Professor Jiyong Feng at the Xi'an Conservatory of Music in China. She continued her study at CCM, where she worked closely with Professors Michael Fiday and Miguel Roig-Francolí during her master's studies. She is currently in the DMA program at CCM.
