Composer Portraits: Chou Wen-chung
Chou Wen-chung
Chou Wen-chung has played a vital role in the confluence of Eastern and Western musical traditions. Born in Yantai, Chou moved to New York to study at Columbia, where he later joined the faculty himself, mentoring important next-generation Chinese composers such as Tan Dun, Bright Sheng, and Zhou Long. He was a lifelong protégé of Edgard Varèse. This Portrait spans from Echoes from the Gorge to a string quartet commissioned in response to Bach’s Art of Fugue.
