Abstract
Abstract Bright Sheng was born in Shanghai, China, and started piano studies with his mother at the age of four. His adolescence coincided with the Chinese Cultural Revolution (1966-76), during which he was sent to the country for a rural education. After the fall of Mao Tse-Tung’s regime, Sheng earned a degree in composition at Shanghai Conservatory of Music, and in 1982 he moved to New York, where he attended Queens College, CUNY, and Columbia University. Among his teachers were Leonard Bernstein, Chou Wen-chung, Mario Davidovsky, George Perle, and Hugo Weisgall.
