Some twenty years ago, Jan Tien-hao, who was still an undergraduate studying English in the National Chengchi University, got a rare chance to arrange Tyzen Hsiao’s I love Taiwan for choral edition to be published. Since then, he started his career of being a composer for choral music. Although he did not come from a music background, he has composed over ten Chinese musicals including The Edge of Heaven, April Rain and My Dear Next Door and become a phenomenal composer whose work is influential in the field of Chinese Choral works and musical. In the upcoming concert “The Music of Jan Tien-hao” organized by the Chinese University of Hong Kong Chorus, the Chorus will showcase Jan’s choral work of the previous two decades. Jan will also come to Hong Kong before the concert to hold a pre-concert talk in talking about his path of being a composer for choral music and share his stories of the past two decades in the field. The audience are invited to join him at the talk and know about the twenty years of his pursuit of dream.
The CU Chorus will be presenting a concert to showcase the works from the prominent Taiwanese composer Jan Tien-hao on 8 June, 2014 (Sunday) at the Concert Hall of the Hong Kong Cultural Center, 8PM. For more details, please visit http://www.cuchorus.org.hk/zh/ap2014/
