With the premiere of his 23-minutes orchestral work Unlocking in 2008, Fung Lam became not only the first composer commissioned to compose a new work specifically for BBC Radio 3’s Discovering Music programme, but also the youngest Chinese composer ever to have been commissioned by the BBC.

Ranging from original concert and media works to various arrangements, sometimes involving both Western and Chinese instruments, his music has been performed around the world, including festivals such as the Cheltenham Music Festival, BASBWE International Wind Festival, Soundwaves Festival, Second Glance Festival, Musicarama Festival, Le French May, Asian Composers’ League Asian Music Festivals in 2003, 2004 and 2007, and the inaugural BBC Electric Proms in 2006.

Born in Hong Kong in 1979, Fung currently resides and works in London.  His teachers have included Martin Butler, Michael Finnissy and Michael Zev Gordon.
