CHAMBER PIECES

Like Wind - for string trio (2026)

This piece expresses unbridled life. Everyone has a different definition of  unbridled life and it usually consists of small romantic moments. Such as running away on the beach, viewing the horizon of a sunset, or feeling the wind, etc. 

Moreover, when I began to compose this piece, I was in LA and a part of inspiration was from Santa Monica beach which was my favorite place there. The sunshine shone, the sunset’s light poured into the ocean with the sunset horizon, and people there appeared free and unrestrained.

Performers: Bo-Yuan Jeng (Violin), Chao An Hsu (Viola), Yu-Hua Lin (Cello)

Dream Land - for string quartet (2025)

The “Dream Land” can be the place that wanted to go, the imagination of a place that never existed, or the place that hoped to live in the future and so on. This piece began with “Agitato” which feels exciting for the future. The powerful emotion also gives people courage. When it changed to “Affettuoso”, it had a slow and beautiful melody which felt real in the “Dream Land”.

performers: Bo-Yuan Jeng (violin), Johannes Liodden (violin), Seoyeon Bay (viola), Xinchen Jessica Zhang (cello)
