Toh Yan Ee is a Singaporean composer whose music fuses elements of spontaneity and organicity. Yan Ee’s music deals with dichotomies within nature - both the phenomena of our physical world, as well as the nature of things. Her works explore gestures through the amalgamation and morphing of timbres and harmonies.
Yan Ee has worked with TACET(i) Ensemble, b-l duo, Orkest de Ereprijs, Salastina, Les Percussions de Strasbourg, Quartetto Maurice, ensemble chromoson, Ensemble Kochi, Singapore Chinese Orchestra, and NOISE Ensemble, amongst others. Her music has been performed in eight countries across Europe, Asia and America. Yan Ee was awarded Winner of the Boston New Music Initiative Young Composer Competition, Concertia Emerging Composers Fellowship, Runner-Up Prizes at the Black Bayou Composition Award and International Composition Institute of Thailand, Special Mention at AMAT Women Composers Competition, and Diploma at the New Music Generation International Composer Competition.
A graduate of the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music under the tutelage of Ho Chee Kong and Adeline Wong, Yan Ee is currently pursuing a Master of Music at the Royal Academy of Music (London), studying with David Sawer. Upcoming projects include a new work for Riot Ensemble, and a short chamber opera in collaboration with writer Noah McCreadie.
