Get to Know...Hui Tak-Cheung

Picture
Hui Tak-Cheung was a finalist in the newly composed category in 2015 for his solo work A Gleam Again, for solo flute doubling on singing bowl. A Gleam Again, under its final title, In Between II-Lu Chai, was premiered by its commissioner Chen-Yu Wu on July 16, 2015 at the Themes Star Theatre in Shanghai. Lu Chai is the second work in his In Between series. In Between II-Lu Chai has not yet been premiered in the United States. FNMC members, maybe one of you would like to give the American Premiere?!
 
Q&A with Tak…
 What about new music for the flute appeals to you?
Color. Like ink wash painting, a single black stroke can has a whole spectrum of color within, ranged from white, to gray.
 
Who is/are your favorite “new music” composer/s and why?
Too many to name one. Sciarrino comes to my mind at this moment (probably because I am listening to it right now).
 
Describe your musical background and current activities.
I am a composer. I love flute. I really love flute.
