4. Kui Dong, Music and Belonging

Kui Dong is a composer whose work spans diverse genres including ballet, orchestra, chamber works, chorus, electro-acoustic music, film scores, multi-media art, and improvisation. On the podcast, we discuss her opera-in-progress Hutong and the presence of diaspora identity in her music. We also talk about her piece for four percussionists on two moving marimbas Scattered Ladder, which will be performed at OM 26.

Music: Hutong by Kui Dong; Scattered Ladder by Kui Dong, performed by Third Coast Percussion (Kairos)
