Tze Yeung Ho

Tze Yeung Ho

Tze Yeung Ho (1992) is a Norwegian composer.

Tze Yeung’s music is created at the crossroads of understanding, reflecting his multilingual upbringing. His works explore the territories of speech, translation in language, dramaturgy and poetics. Working with Scandinavian, Finno-Ugric and Chinese poetry and prose, his music treads on the fragile landscapes of (mis)communication through (un)spoken words. Close collaboration with living writers, storytellers and word-based artists is integral to his practice. His creations usually result in some form of music theatre.

Tze Yeung holds a doctoral degree (PhD) from the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre and a master’s degree from the Norwegian Academy of Music. He has been a visiting student in the phonetics department at the University of Helsinki and has held lectures and talks at the Estonian Arts Academy, Mahidol University (Thailand), Sibelius Academy (Finland), SOUND 59 festival (Russia) and the highSCORE festival (Italy).

Tze Yeung, invited by Moderna Museet was among the featured artists of Venice Biennale in 2024. He has collaborated on an interdisciplinary music theatre piece in the Nordic Pavilion.
