NG Lik-hei Christopher graduated from St. Francis Xavier’s College, is currently a Year 1 undergraduate majoring in Music at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. Composing since 10, NG entered the Junior Music Programme offered by the Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts and being mentored under Ms WAT Nga-man. NG was awarded Outstanding Composition Award in GalaMusica・School Chamber Compositions 2023 and completed the Orchestral Suite Before and After No. 4 under the guidance of Dr NG Wah-hei.
NG’s composition style is heavily influenced by Brahm’s hyper-motivic writing, focusing on large works encompassing on the development of a few motifs. With a strong interest in literature and writing, most of his compositions are programmatic, aiming to portrait the scenery and emotions throughout an entire fiction. The most significant works of such are the Romantic Music Novel I will dedicate all my hope to you, featuring Violin Sonata The Opposite Side of a Ravine (Op. 25), Cello Sonata The Locked Gates (Op. 26), and the Orchestral Suite Before and After (Op. 30). In addition, NG specialised in composition for choir, mainly influenced by Mr NG Cheuk-yin, Mr TAM Tin-lok Alex and Dr CHAN Kai-young. Significant works include Autumn Night in Tranquil Hill, Sing Sing Man: Emotion of the Fall and Drinking under the Moon in the Mandatory Passage Series (Op. 22).
NG is also a pianist and cellist, under the mentorship of Dr Timothy KWOK and Mr CHEUNG Ming-fai.
