English Biography

Tony K.T. Leung is a Canadian composer/cellist, whose music has been performed internationally by leading contemporary music ensembles. Born in Hong Kong, Tony discovered music through his first instrument, the erhu, and later the cello. As a youth, he arranged music for a Chinese orchestra, which sparked an early interest in western music and composition. After decades of primarily acoustic works, he currently explores technology-based musical expression.

In 2003, his chamber music “Six Degrees of Separation” was selected for the ALEA III International Composition Competition finalist concert in Boston. From 2009 to 2018, he served as Composer-in-Residence at Toronto Chinese Orchestra. As a conductor, he has directed Dim Sum Ensemble, Toronto Chinese Orchestra, and Hong Kong Juvenile & Youth Chinese Classical Orchestra.

French Biography

Tony K.T. Leung est un compositeur et violoncelliste canadien, dont la musique est jouée internationalement par des ensembles de musique contemporaine de premier plan. Né à Hong Kong, il a découvert la musique grâce à son premier instrument, l’erhu, et, plus tard, le violoncelle. Dans sa jeunesse, il a arrangé de la musique pour un orchestre chinois, ce qui a éveillé son intérêt pour la musique et la composition occidentales. Après des décennies d’œuvres principalement acoustiques, il explore actuellement l’expression musicale basée sur la technologie.

En 2003, l’œuvre de musique de chambre Six Degrees of Separation de Tony K.T. Leung a été retenue pour le concert des finalistes du concours international de composition ALEA III à Boston. De 2009 à 2018, il a été compositeur en résidence de l’Orchestre chinois de Toronto.
