Yii Kah Hoe 余家和
Yii Kah Hoe is the winner of the Malaysia Philharmonic Orchestra Forum for Malaysian Composers II (2007) and 11th BOH Cameronian Arts Awards (best music and design), and a recipient of the Third Prize at the International Competition for Chinese Orchestral Composition organized by the Singapore Chinese Orchestra (2006). He was also a finalist in the International Competition for Composers ‘Città di Udine’ (Italy, 2010).
Yii’s music, often perceived as bold and avant-garde, uses the sounds and rhythms of traditional instruments from various ethnic cultures. A sensitivity to space, which Yii mastered as an artist in fine arts in his younger years, is also evident in his works. His interest in ethnic and traditional music has prompted him to embark on an ongoing research project to collect folk and ethno-music materials of different regions.
Yii was the festival director various contemporary music festivals in Malaysia, and is currently the president of the Society of Malaysian Contemporary Composers and a senior lecturer at SEGi College, Subang Jaya.
