昨风起西北，万艘皆乘便。
今风转而东，我舟十五纤。
力乏更雇夫，百金尚嫌贱。
船工怒斗语，夫坐视而怨。
添槔亦复车，黄胶生口咽。
河泥若祐夫，粘底更不转。
添金工不怒，意满怨亦散。
一曳如风车，叫啖如临战。
傍观莺窦湖，渺渺无涯岸。
一滴不可汲，况彼西江远。
万事须乘时，汝来一何晚。

Yuheng Chen – Composer, Pianist, and Contemporary Arts Event Organizer. Born in 1998 in Jinan, China,

Chen’s work draws on memory—awakening and transforming personal traumas—through dense, grainy textures and weighted pulses whose resonances give space for reflection.

Chen studied composition under Michael Jarrell and Clara Iannotta, as well as electroacoustic composition at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna (mdw) with Karlheinz Essl. Starting in 2024, Chen will begin working with the International Ensemble Modern Academy (IEMA) based in Frankfurt.

In 2022, Chen was a finalist in the Ö1 Talentebörse competition in Austria. In 2023, Chen was a laureate of the Toru Takemitsu Composition Award and received first prizes at the Concorso Internazionale di Composizione, the Frank Robert Abell Young Composers Competition in the USA, and the Irino Composition Prize in Japan. Chen is active in numerous music festivals, including Witten Tage für neue Kammermusik, Tokyo Operacity Composium 2023, Impuls Festival Graz, Bludenzer Tage zeitgemäßer Musik, Klangspuren Schwaz, Festival Mixtur Barcelona, and Wien Modern. Chen’s works have been performed by various orchestras and ensembles such as the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra, Ensemble Recherche, Ensemble Names, Ensemble Phace, Ensemble Platypus, Ensemble Modern, and many others.

Chen also attended private classes with Ying Wang, and masterclasses with Olga Neuwirth, Chaya Czernowin, Francesco Filidei, and Franck Bedrossian, among others.
