For Good Measure

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 season collaborations include the continuation and creation of Fung’s first opera, My Family // Cambodia, 1975, in collaboration with librettist Royce Vavrek; a new song cycle song cycle for Andrea Núñez with Vavrek, as part of a residency at National Sawdust; a Del Sol Quartet commission for their project Songs of the Diaspora; 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.
