Composition
Lance's diverse oeuvre ranges from solo and chamber pieces to choral and orchestral works. He mostly composes for classical musicians but has also written and arranged music for screen and commercial purposes. Some key areas of interest include queerness (Two Loves), diaspora experience (渡:感懷七闋), literature (an ongoing project to set the complete Shakespeare's sonnets; poems by John Keats), Buddhist philosophy (Dust, Mirror, and Bodhi Tree; Encounters), and Cantonese text-setting. If you wish to perform or purchase Lance's music, commission new works, or explore collaborative possibilities, please get in touch.
