Vivian Fung is a Canadian born composer. She composes music to be performed by orchestras, operas, quartets, and pianists. Her compositions have been performed internationally. Early life and educationFung was born in Edmonton, Alberta. She began composition studies with Violet Archer and later studied with Narcis Bonet in Paris, France. She received her doctorate from The Juilliard School in New York in 2002, where her mentors included David Diamond and Robert Beaser. CareerFung's compositions blend Western musical forms with musical ideas from many cultures, including Balinese, Javanese gamelan, and folk songs from minority regions of China. Her personal heritage has played a strong role in her music. Fung has received a number of awards and grants: the 2012 Simon Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship, New York Foundation for the Arts’ Gregory Millard Fellowship, ASCAP, BMI, American Music Center, MAP Fund, Music Alive!, and the League of American Orchestras, American Composers’ Forum, and the Canada Council for the Arts. Vivian has been composer-in-residence of the Delaware Chamber Music Festival, Music in the Loft chamber music series in Chicago, the San José Chamber Orchestra, and the Billings Symphony. Vivian Fung also completed residencies at the MacDowell, Yaddo, and Banff arts colonies, as well as residencies at the Atlantic Center for the Arts. She is also an associate composer of the Canadian Music Centre. In 2012, Naxos Canadian Classics released the world premiere recording of her 'Violin Concerto', 'Piano Concerto', her album “Dreamscapes,” and 'Glimpses' for prepared piano, with Metropolis Ensemble conducted by Andrew Cyr, featuring her personal friend, violinist Kristin Lee, and pianist Conor Hanick. Her 'Violin Concerto' earned her the 2013 JUNO Award for “Classical Composition of the Year.” [1][2] Several of her works have also been released commercially on the Telarc, Çedille, and Signpost labels. After the world premiere in March 2011 of Vivian's work 'Yunnan Folk Songs', The Chicago Tribune wrote, "Yunnan Folk Songs stood out… [with] a winning rawness that went beyond exoticism."[3] Fung travels often, exploring the diverse cultures of North Vietnam, Spain, and Bali, Indonesia. In 2012, Vivian traveled to Southwest China for ethno-musicological research to study minority music and cultures in the Yunnan province. It was a continuation of the research that previously inspired 'Yunnan Folk Songs' (2011). The project was commissioned by Fulcrum Point New Music in Chicago with support from the MAP Fund. One of her most recent works to date is 'String Quartet No.3' which was a commission by the 11th Banff International String Quartet Competition (BISQC). It was performed by ten string quartets; the American group, the Dover Quartet, won first prize.[4] The Calgary Herald lauded the piece and retitled it 'Dark Journeys'. As music critic Stephan Bonfield pointed out, the work is Fung's creative emotional response to the world conflict during that year, seen from the point of view of her own family's struggles.[5]
