His wide-ranging works include orchestral music, opera, installations, and film, performed by major ensembles such as the New York Philharmonic and premieres at leading opera houses including Santa Fe Opera and the Met Opera. Born in Hainan in 1976 and educated at the Shanghai Conservatory, Oberlin, and Juilliard, he is now a composition faculty member at Mannes School of Music and artistic director of Ensemble FIRE.
