JUNO Award-winning composer Vivian Fung has a unique talent for combining idiosyncratic textures and styles into large-scale works, reflecting her multicultural background. NPR calls her “one of today’s most eclectic composers,” and The Philadelphia Inquirer praises her “stunningly original compositional voice.” Upcoming collaborations include the creation of Fung’s opera, My Family // Cambodia, 1975, with librettist Royce Vavrek; a song cycle for soprano Andrea Núñez, a string quartet work for the Del Sol Quartet; and research to Guizhou, China with violinist Nancy Zhou. Born in Edmonton, Canada, Fung received her doctorate from The Juilliard School and currently lives in California.
