Composing 作曲

Wong composes music across a range of genres, instruments, and styles. He endeavours to explore the dialogue between familiarity and alienation, and the relationship between music and sound by considering musical instruments as sound objects. He is currently studying composition under the tutelage of Prof. Kai-young Chan at The Chinese University of Hong Kong.

His works have been performed both locally and internationally in the United States, Sweden, Spain, and etc. Among his major recent works are le motif disparu written for Mivos Quartet, Lullaby for Ensemble Signal, Wind Quintet Wandering Glimmer and Broken Light composed for the Hong Kong Wind Kamerata, and Les orbites éternelles for Hong Kong Youth Chinese Orchestra. 

In 2019, Wong had two successful European premieres under tutelage of Rolf Martinsson, Steffan Storm, Kent Olofsson and Ricordi artist Luca Francesconi at the Malmö Academy of Music, adding to his œuvre a brass ensemble piece Lointain and an electroacoustic-instrumental work Aurora 0 – Search for Light, written for erhu and surrounded sound. In 2018, he collaborated with Ensemble Mise-en and Mivos Quartet at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. All but Love for orchestra was premiered by the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra and erhu trio Mixture entered the ‘Match-making Concert’ by RTHK in the same year.

In university, Wong often collaborates with fellow performers to develop new works. In December of 2021, three emerging performers from the university, Jerry Lee (bass clarinet), Arthur Lo (marimba and percussion) and Samuel Leung (violin) premiered his trio work per aspera (ad astra) in a composers showcase concert.

For Chinese orchestral music, Wong has worked in numerous occasions with the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra. His works Lullaby II, Tranquility, Entanglements and Fanfare were selected for the ‘Music from the Heart’ concerts of the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra. He is subsequently commissioned in 2020 by the orchestra to write The Song of Youth, an 14-minute long orchestral piece to mark the opening of their youth orchestra. In the same year, his work Hand-in-hand is selected to be showing piece in the HKCO Net Festival, and the work gained two performances by Belilios Public School Chinese Orchestra and Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra respectively. Back in March 2016, his Chinese orchestral miniature ...Standing at the far end of street, where the candlelight is the dimmest was performed and discussed in the orchestral workshop at the Chinese Music Without Bounds - International Composers' Summit.
