Bio

Tan Dun (born 1957) is a Chinese composer and conductor known for blending Western classical traditions with Chinese musical elements. Born in Changsha, Hunan, he initially worked as a rice planter during the Cultural Revolution before studying at the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing. His international breakthrough came with the score for the film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," which earned him an Academy Award. His compositions span opera, orchestral works, and film scores, often incorporating unconventional instruments and multimedia elements. Notable works include the opera "Marco Polo," the "Water Concerto," and the "Symphony 1997: Heaven Earth Mankind," composed for the Hong Kong handover ceremony. Tan Dun has received numerous international awards and serves as a UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador.
