I am excited and very grateful to announce that I have received support from the National Culture and Arts Foundation of Taiwan for my upcoming project to write my first Concerto: Violin Concerto N. 0 is scheduled for development during 2023-2024!
Having written works for orchestra, my inspiration to delve into a new sound world for orchestra and soloist was ignited after receiving an inquiry of solo piece from a distinguished German violist, who has had remarkable career with renowned orchestras such as La Scala Milano, Berliner Oper, and Bayerischen Rundfunk. With the invaluable support of NCAF, I am thrilled to embark on this uncharted musical journey and to have the opportunity to expand my research and compositional endeavors.
N. 0 symbolizes both a new personal artistic exploration—a solid foundation for the future N. 1—and a reflection of the Net Zero concept that our era urges, with the creative process and the music-making adhering to the principles of sustainability and environmental responsibility.

The NCAF funding was officially announced on 15 Sep 2023.
