About Anthony

 

Composer and pianist Anthony Cheung writes music that explores the senses, a wide palette of instrumental play and affect, improvisational traditions, reimagined musical artifacts, and multiple layers of textual meaning. Described as “gritty, inventive and wonderfully assured” (San Francisco Chronicle) and praised for its “instrumental sensuality” (Chicago Tribune), his music reveals an interest in the ambiguity of sound sources and constantly shifting transformations of tuning and timbre. As critic Paul Griffiths writes, “Anthony Cheung has an intensely accurate sense of where his notes are going, and how and why…[his music’s] precision is responsible for a wealth of sonic magic.”
