CAMPGround25

CAMP is excited to announce Chihchun Chi-sun Lee as the CAMPGround25 Commissioned Composer!

Taiwanese-American composer, CHIHCHUN CHI-SUN LEE’s works were described as “eye-openingly, befittingly, complex, but rather arresting to hear” by Boston Globe, “exploring a variety of offbeat textures and unusual techniques” by Gramophone and “eastern techniques blended with sophisticated modern writing style” by “Amadeus” Il mensile della grande musica. Lee has received honors including winning the 1st Brandenburg Symphony International Composition Competition in Germany, 2024 MACRO Composition Competition and receiving a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Theodore Front Prize from IAWM, ISCM/ League of Composers Competition, an International Festival of Women Composers Composition Prize, and 3 nominations of Golden Melody Awards for “Best Composer” & "Best Crossover Music Album Award". She has received commissions from Boston Symphony Orchestra (the 1st Taiwanese and the 4th Asian composer), Fromm Music Foundation at Harvard University (2001 & 2018), Barlow Endowment, the Taiwan National Culture and Arts Foundation, British Columbia Arts Council, Canada, National Taiwan Symphony Orchestra, Taiwan Philharmonic, National Orchestra of Korea, and Taiwan National Chinese Orchestra, just to name a few. Lee has written more than 50 compositions for traditional Chinese/Korean/Japanese instruments. Her music has been performed at Carnegie Hall, the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, UNESCO International Rostrum of Composers, ISCM World Music Days and various international festivals and broadcasts worldwide (over 40 countries in 5 continents).
