Bonnie Yung Sin-kan is a Hong Kong composer. Her enthusiasm lies in creating music in relation to the Cantonese language, and explore the relationship between language and music. She's also an active chorister and chamber music performer.
Full of tension and unpredictability, Bonnie’s music often draws inspiration from tiny moments of daily life, and yet there is no lack of philosophical notions in her music. Born and raised in Hong Kong, a multicultural city, her music is well-articulated and daring, often filled with great polarities. Her experience in Estonia and her interest in poetry and literature adds a distinctive taste to her music.
Bonnie was recently selected by Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra and Toolbox International Creative Academy as Fellow Composer. She was commissioned by Hong Kong Baptist University Choir and HKBU Centre for Innovative Service-Learning, and collaborated with Hong Kong Youth Choir, Placard Quintet, ESTICA Quintet, and various ensembles and choirs in Hong Kong and Europe. Recently, she collaborated with ceramic artists Amie Chan for her film/ceramic project Fuzziness, and was nominated in Global Design Graduate Show 2021.
Bonnie obtained her Master’s degree in Music (Classical Composition) cum laude at Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre and Bachelor of Arts (Hon.) in Music (First Honour) at Hong Kong Baptist University. During her studies in Estonia, she was awarded the Estonian National Scholarships for Foreign Students, Academy Merit-based Scholarship, Dora Plus Short Study Visit Scholarship.
