In 2017, a composition competition was held for the opening music of the Cultural Festival in Foshan, China, an event that brought together artists from around the world.
That year, my piece “Dance of the Dragons” was awarded third place among the selected works.🐉
The composition is inspired by ancient Chinese musical motifs, blending traditional instruments such as the erhu, guzheng, and taiko drum with a full symphonic orchestra. Through this fusion, I aimed to portray the dance and soaring movement of dragons, a symbol deeply rooted in Chinese culture and mythology.🐲
In this post, you can listen to a short excerpt from the piece.🎧
