Dear Alvin,

I am writing on behalf of Professor Poon. I am an Asst. Professor and coordinator for the HKBU Dept. of Music Friday Concert & Lecture Series. Professor Poon passed on your correspondence with him regarding your interest in performing here this year.

We would be interested to host you for a Friday afternoon recital in front of our BA students and faculty. We currently have only 1 Friday programme available for this school year, but it appears to fall within your travel dates to Hong Kong:

Time: 1:30 pm, Friday, 18 January, 2012 Location: L.T. 3 (Y.C. Cheng Lecture Theatre) Hong Kong Baptist University Ho Sin Hang Campus

The programme samples that you offered all look good. We generally ask guest artists to limit recitals to around 50 minutes (60 maximum). If you are available for 18 January, could you please consider shortening one of the programmes and let me know which one youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to do? Please send that to me, and I can confirm date and honorarium with you then.

Thanks and regards,

John

Dear Alvin, Greetings from Hong Kong! I am very much looking forward to your concert with Amy. I am writing to ask if you would be interested to give a cello masterclass and/or coach our cellists/strings. Currently, we have a cello ensemble and a few good cellists which would greatly benefit from your teaching, should you have the time. Many thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you soon. best, David ---

Hi Dr. Chung, Thank you for your message. I too look forward to playing at BU again! I would love to give a class for cellists, if they play want to play standard cello repertoire for me, or a coaching session for the cello ensemble, or both. My schedule is quite flexible when in Hong Kong so I can come in on multiple days. If you would let me know in advance what pieces they will play/are working on, that would help me prepare better for the class as well. Thank you for the opportunity! Alvin --Y.

small chamber work with cello on 2.28.2013 Chen Yi <chenyi@aol.com> Thu, Sep 6, 2012 at 11:44 PM To: yjnn4@mail.umkc.edu, zj79c@mail.umkc.edu, awkr4@mail.umkc.edu, yhc42@mail.umkc.edu, cctx9@mail.umkc.edu Cc: chenyi@aol.com, alvin.yale2@gmail.com Dear Zhou Jing, Wang Amao, Jiang Yu, He Yuanyuan and Patrick: I have invited a wonderful cellist from Yale to perform in our 154A class at noon of 2/28/2013. His name is Alvin Wong ç&#x17D;&#x2039;č&#x192;¤ (his is on my FB). Please find his CV in the attached word file. He is originally from Hong Kong, and has just received his O-1 visa to perform in the States after his graduation with MMA this past summer. I would like to invite you to write a solo piece for cello, or a duet for cello and piano, with imagination from anything related to Chinese culture. You could also write a duet for cello and any other instrument/voice that is available for the performance. Alvin will need the score and part to practice as early as possible (his email is here if you need to ask him questions <alvin.yale2@gmail.com>). We will rehearse a day before and perform the new works in the class. Please remember that the Guild concert will be in the evening. If you submit your piece a month earlier to the Guild, and the piece will get programmed in the Guild concert, then Alvin will be happy to play the piece again for you in the evening concert as well. It will be a great opportunity for you to get a fantastic digital recording. Please let me know if you plan to write for Alvin. I look forward to hearing from you ASAP. This cello project is different from our 2.23 concert at Nelson that I curate (hopefully you also plan to write for that event, with Jing's zheng but without a piano, to be small enough to program at the Nelson). That concert has a small honorarium for the few performers. The Conservatory will also record that performance digitally. This cello project is also different from the chamber music composition competition (4 final chosen works will be performed at the Nova concert on 2/27/2013), which has a more flexible instrumentation from 3-6 instruments, including the zheng or electronic music. Thank you for your hard work! Best wishes, Dr. Chen

Alvin Wong displays his cello mastery. Photo by Joey Hill It’s up for debate how much feeling a musician can put into an instrument. It’s easy to attest that “feeling” comes from the amount of emotion and ferocity that the operator expresses while playing or the volume at which he or she plays, but it requires some of the highest understanding of the connection between instrument and musician to make a cello wail with sorrow. UMKC’s Conservatory presented the Composer’s Guild last Thursday, a collection of pieces composed by UMKC students, each of which delved deeply into the idea of how living expression can be conveyed through instrumental sound. Works like Kay He’s “Fallen Leaves – Drum Tower” demonstrate this

using a solo cello to

illustrate the atmosphere of being in the season of autumn. The cellist, Alvin Wong, shows complete control over the instrument, making it sound almost alive, transcending the cello’s natural classical roots into an ultra-contemporary and ultra-avant-garde,

though inertly human, sound. The lack of a discernible beat helps this. Instead, the music simply flows like how one’s gaze roams along the orange and yellow trees bathed in a low Kansas City afternoon sun in the fall. This is human music. It is not made unapproachable by the barriers of academics. It allows the listener to eventually fall into it. This is not only demonstrated through solo performances. It happens again in “Returning Home,” a duet between piano and cello, the piano played by composer Wang A Mao, and the cello again played by Wong. Implementing various techniques by both musicians, the work is quiet and uses brief moments of silence reminiscent of momentary deep breaths taken upon seeing a great vista in nature. The sounds of both instruments are at times mixed. During certain moments, Mao will get off the piano bend and lean into the piano’s innards, plucking at the low strings, creating a sound similar to the cello while Wong

discards the bow, plucks and strums the strings with his hands,

sometimes dragging his fingers along the neck of the instrument to create a bending and curving sound. Both instances convey a simple and natural feeling.

The chords and melodies are sometimes

sparse and difficult to recognize as they switch constantly, but this does not deflect the listener from the overall beauty and complexity of the work. One must listen to pieces like these without expectations. Like a walk down an unknown trail, they require a personal openness to every aspect of the surroundings, and if that is achieved, the reward is an experience that transcends definition and description. jhill@unews.com

January 3, 2013 Dr. Brian Ciach 541 Doyle Fine Arts Center Murray State University Murray, KY 42071 Alvin Wong 462 Humphrey Street, Apt B1 New Haven, CT 06511 Dear Alvin, I'm writing on behalf of Murray State University to invite you to our music department as a guest artist during March 3-6, 2013. We would like you to perform a concert of solo cello works, including my Chaconne for amplified cello and electronic music, as we have discussed. Also, it would greatly benefit our department if you would present a masterclass for our cello and bass students. Our student composers would also like to meet with you in the form of a composition workshop to discuss writing for the cello and extended techniques. To aid in your visit, we can offer you a guest artist grant in the amount of $500. Please let me know if this is agreeable with your schedule. Thank you for your initiative in making contact with me for this exciting program. All best,

Brian Ciach Assistant Professor of Music Theory, Composition, and Electronic Music Murray State University sigh-ackmusic.com

March 9, 2013 Dr. Brian Ciach 541 Doyle Fine Arts Center Murray State University Murray, KY 42071 Alvin Wong 462 Humphrey Street, Apt B1 New Haven, CT 06511 Dear Alvin, Thank you so much for your excellent cello recital as a Murray State guest artist on March 6, 2013. Your performance of my Chaconne for amplified cello and electronic music was, no doubt, the best I've heard it! I really loved hearing the works of the Chinese composers, especially Bright Sheng's Seven Tunes Heard in China. Your cello and bass masterclass and composition workshop with our composition students really benefited our department. Some words from my faculty colleague about your visit: "It was a marvelous concert! I loved his interpretation of both Dr.Ciach and other Chinese composer's pieces. His cello performance definitely evoked the composers' spirits." I very much look forward to our collaboration on my new commissioned cello solo piece and to our next meeting! All best,

Brian Ciach Assistant Professor of Music Theory, Composition, and Electronic Music Murray State University sigh-ackmusic.com
