A native of Montreal, Edwin H. Ng (b. 1994) is a Canadian composer and data scientist. His artistic research focuses on transposing the aesthetic of soundscape compositions into the medium of instrumental music, and on integrating aspects of sound design such that the playfulness of contemporary musical dialogues can be appreciated. Soundscape compositions allow expressing and sharing his personal experience as he discovers the world that surrounds him, and in the process, broadening the listening experience.
 

Edwin's music has been the result of numerous collaborations. He has worked with ensembles such as the Avanti! Chamber Orchestra, the London Sinfonietta, the Nouvel Ensemble Moderne, the Moscow Contemporary Music Ensemble, Reheard Ensemble and the Vancouver Chamber Choir. His music has been performed and read in Austria, Canada, Finland, Russia, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States.

 

His set of choral pieces Haiku from Tashme granted him the Canadian national first prize in the choral category of the 2022 SOCAN Foundation Awards for Young Composers. He was also among the finalists in the 2022 ROSL Composition Award in UK. Among the awarded grants, Edwin has received additional funding from SOCAN and the CALQ.

​

Edwin H. Ng is currently pursuing his Doctor of Music in Composition at the Université de Montréal with Jimmie LeBlanc and Ana Sokolović. He formerly completed his Master of Music in Composition at McGill University under the supervision of Sean Ferguson. Through festivals, he attended private lessons with world-renowned composers such as Carola Bauckholt, Oscar Bianchi, Pierluigi Billone, Clemens Gadenstätter, Yuri Kasparov, Jean-Luc Hervé, Philippe Leroux, Hèctor Parra, Tomi Räisänen, Jukka Tiensuu.
