Tze Yeung Ho

Tze Yeung Ho (1992) is a Norwegian composer. He is an organiser and founder of OSLOFONI and a board member of the Periferien - nyMusikk Oslo concert series. He is also currently an Endringsagent (Impact Agent) for Music Norway and was recently named a member of the ECCO working group in ECSA (European Composers and Song- writers’ Alliance). Tze Yeung chaired the Norwegian chapter of the UNM (Ung Nordisk Musikk) festival between 2018 and 2021. Tze Yeung is a member of Nordic Noise, an inter-Nordic art collective in curatorial practices.
Tze Yeung’s music is created at the cross-roads 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 PhD degree from the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre and a master’s degree from the Norwegian Academy of Music.
