Nine new works were given their premieres. In addition to the commissioned work, A Breath of Life by Wong Chun-wai, last year’s winner, eight works were performed by the Composers’ Guild Ensemble conducted by their Music Director Richard Tsang and Associate Music Director Lo Hau-man. This year, the commission was to write music for an ensemble of 5 music instruments: violin, viola, double bass, oboe and bassoon. The winner of the year is Chan Kai-young. He is currently a MMus student in Composition at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. His winning work, entitled Fata Morgana, paints a kaleidoscope of illusory landscapes with a palette of ‘distorted’ instrumental and harmonic colours. 2012 New Generation was broadcast in Live on 4 on 23 June.
