Biography

Julian Yu was born in Beijing on 2 September 1957 and wrote his first composition at the age of twelve. He went on to study composition at the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing and later joined the teaching staff there. From 1980 to 1982 he studied at the Tokyo College of Music under Joji Yuasa. In 1985, he settled in Australia and in 1988, Yu was a composition fellow at Tanglewood, where he studied under Hans Werner Henze and Oliver Knussen. He prefers to be described as a “composer” rather than be labelled a “Chinese composer” and he does not believe in overtly parading his ethnic origins in his music.
