[ezcol_1half]Music: Daniel Lo
作曲:盧定彰

Hong Kong composer Daniel Lo completed his PhD (Composition) at the University of York in the United Kingdom in 2017 under the supervision of William Brooks with full sponsorship of the Hong Kong Jockey Club Music and Dance Fund. Previously, he studied composition with Chan Hing-yan at the University of Hong Kong where he graduated with first class honours in 2009 and then earned an MPhil (Music Composition) in 2012.

Lo has won various prizes in international contests including first prizes at the 7th Musica e Arte Composition Contest (Rome, 2011) and the 3rd Migratory Journeys International Music Composition Competition (Chicago, 2010/2011).

Lo’s compositions have been performed in Europe, Asia, North America and Australia. Lo’s works cover a wide range of musical genres, from orchestral to vocal pieces. The last few years saw the premieres of Home City Dream City for orchestra and field recordings (2014) and Efflorescence – Quasi-Concerto for Orchestra (2016), both commissioned by Hong Kong Sinfonietta; violin concerto YouHuang (II) during Lo’s residency at the Ostrava Days Contemporary Music Festival in Czech Republic in August 2017; and two new works Poids and Autumn Rhythm written for Hong Kong New Music Ensemble’s tour to Korea and Taiwan in April 2019 and Hong Kong Sinfonietta’s Asia tour 2019 respectively.

One of Lo’s current compositional interests is to seek ways to integrate music with Hong Kong literature. Recent works inspired by contemporary local writers include two pieces written for Hong Kong Odyssey, commissioned by Hong Kong Arts Festival 2017; a choral work Mary’s Chalk Circle for narration, unaccompanied choir and video, presented by Hong Kong Voices in June 2017; and a chamber opera A Woman Such as Myself (based on Xixi’s short story A Girl Like Me) which premiered in New Opera Days Ostrava (Czech Republic) in June 2018.

A semi-staged cantata composed by Lo (based on Leung Ping-Kwan’s short story The Banquet at elBulli) will be presented by Hong Kong Voices in January 2020. Meanwhile, Lo and novelist Wong Yi are working on a chamber opera in Cantonese Women Like Us, adapted from two of Xixi‘s short stories A Girl Like Me and The Cold. The opera will be staged in the Hong Kong Arts Festival 2020.
