In Reply to: RE: How much did Black American music influence 20th century "classical" music? posted by tinear on August 28, 2021 at 08:36:03
we have Bright Sheng - a Chinese-American composer, pianist, music teacher and conductor born in Shanghai, China. I have heard some of his symphonic works at various concerts.
With a little help from Google:
List of Chinese composers by surname:
Chan Wing-wah - (born 1954)
Chen Gang - (born 1935)
Chen Yi - (born 1953) first Chinese female composer to receive a Master of Arts from the Central Conservatory of Music.
Chou Wen-chung - (1923-2019) noted protogé and longtime professor at Columbia University.
Lei Liang - (born 1972)
Liu Sola - (born 1955)
Jing Jing Luo - (born 1953)
Ma Sicong - (1912-1987)
Qu Xiaosong - (born 1952)
Bright Sheng - (born 1955) professor at University of Michigan
Su Cong - (born 1957)
Wang Xilin - (born 1937)
Xian Xinghai - (1905-1945)
Ye Xiaogang - (born 1955)
Zhou Long - (born 1953)
Yang Jing - (born 1963)
Enjoy the music.

Of course, I could be wrong! ;-)
KCS performances, but have yet to experience a Chinese selection. Same story in Eugene where your favorite female musician, Marin A, wielded the baton. Neither of her successors selected Asian composers, either, as I recall.
I wonder if you've wondered about the paucity of female conductors/directors in major orchestras? And Asians? There is so much diversity among "the ranks," now, that it is a little glaring that none have broken that ceiling, save for Alsop. I don't mean guest conducting, special program gigs, or the like. I mean permanent positions with major orchestras.
I'm hardly restricted to Lafayette, and both the SF Symphony and the Berkeley Symphony have presented programs with some of the composers on oldvinyl's list. Probably has to do with the ethnic make-up of our region. After all, we're so much more DIVERSE than you are in Kansas City."none have broken that [major orchestra conductorship] ceiling, save for Alsop"? Really? In the first place, Alsop hardly deserves her position, as many players in the Baltimore SO will tell you, including one who contributed to this very forum a few years ago. But in any case, you forgot about Joann Falletta in Buffalo, or (going a bit further afield) Mirga with the CBSO. Maybe we should have quotas for symphony orchestra leadership - I'm sure you would resonate with that idea! After all, it doesn't matter how competent someone is, as long as they're the desirable race and gender, right? But wait, you omitted trannies from your remarks! Do you have something against our transgendered brothers and sisters? Why do you persist in omitting them from your advocacy? It's hard to perceive this as anything other than a put-down of the trans community - you cur*!
