Siyuan Kang

Siyuan Kang (b. 1999) is a composer from China, whose work draws inspiration from folk songs and traditional arts. She views music as a unique language and generally refrains from providing program notes for her compositions, unless required. With a profound influence from folk music, she is committed to harnessing energy and original musical elements from diverse folk traditions, using her distinct approach to create innovative works.

Her compositions have been recently performed by the Untitled Ensemble in Toronto, with a piano solo piece presented by Mingfei Li in Chicago and New York. Her cello solo work is performed by She Scores artist Jeffrey Singler in Cleveland. Additionally, she was awarded the Orchestra Reading Commission Award for the CCM Concert Orchestra, and her new composition premiered in March 2025. Kang received guidance from Prof. Jiyong Feng at the Xi'an Conservatory of Music in China. She continued her study at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, where she worked closely with Prof. Michael Fiday and Prof. Miguel Roig-Francoli during her master's studies. She is currently in her first year of the Doctor of Musical Arts (DMA) program at CCM.
