Born in Taiwan, composer-performer Yu-Hsin Chang received her Ph. D. degree in music composition and theory from University of California, Davis, USA. Her composition mentors include Prof. Pablo Ortiz, Kurt Rohde, Sam Nichols and Chin-Yu Lin. Chang's research interests include classical music, contemporary music, algorithmic composition, and traditional Asian music. Her works primarily exemplify postmodernism. Based on her thorough research and practice, Chang aims to deconstruct the traditions and traits of Asian music, and then to reconstruct with the techniques of contemporary music as well as the process she perceives these artistic legacies. Her music reflects an intriguing complex reminiscent of multiple styles. Through these works featuring sparkling timbre and compelling pulses, she explores the boundary between a meditative nature and a subconscious turmoil. Chang's work has been featured worldwide. She attended the Cortona Sessions, Etchings Festival, IMPULS Festival, MISE-EN Festival, Shanghai New Music Week, Weiwuying Contemporary Music Platform, and Workshop for composers by Peter Eötvös Contemporary Music Foundation. The musicians she has worked with include Tony Arnold, Geoffrey Burleson, Chai-Found Music Workshop, Daedalus Quartet, Earplay Ensemble, Empyrean Ensemble, Ensemble MISE-EN, Gramercy Trio, Little Giant Chinese Chamber Orchestra, Nouvel Ensemble Moderne, and Pipa-Ensemble. She is a recipient of Chai-Found Music Workshop International Sizhu Music Composition Competition, National Theatre and Concert Hall Composition Competition, Literary and Artistic Creation Award of Ministry of Education, and several sponsorships for overseas studies.
