Biography​
Picture
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.

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

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