JEFFREY CHING | COMPOSER

Biography​

Jeffrey Ching is the composer of the critically acclaimed opera Das Waisenkind (The Orphan) which was awarded the Theater Erfurt Audience Prize (Zuschauerpreis) for the best opera production of 2009-2010. In November 2013 the two halves of his 'incantation' Diese So-Geliebte were played separately in Dessau and Magdeburg and simultaneously broadcast live by Deutschlandradio Kultur and MDR Figaro, a unique technological tour de force enabling concert and radio listeners to hear both halves as a complete score. His compositions have been featured in radio portraits on Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg (rbb) and Deutschlandfunk (DLF), and in Neue Zeitschrift für Musik.

​Ching's first creative phase was prolific, producing over 200 works in a multiplicity of techniques in which he laid the foundations for the harmonic and contrapuntal assurance of his mature compositions.

Reviews

The premiere last Thursday at Theater Münster of a nearly evening-length work by Jeffrey Ching was a minor sensation
Chr. Schulte im Walde

I find the music of Jeffrey Ching subtler, more exploratory and enriching than that of Philip Glass
