George Lam lives and works in Durham, North Carolina, where he is pursuing a Ph.D. in composition at Duke University. George has recently collaborated on projects with the Hong Kong Sinfonietta, Hong Kong Voices, Volti, American Opera Projects, the Aspen Contemporary Ensemble, the Red Clay Saxophone Quartet, the Boston University Concert Band, Duke University Theater Studies, baritone Robert Maril, and writers Benjamin Rogers, Lap Lam, Martin Zimmerman and John Clum.
George is especially interested in writing music for the theater, and is currently working on a new documentary opera that looks at the changing face of Durham through its buildings, on a libretto created with playwright Neal Bell.
George is a founding co-artistic director of Rhymes With Opera, a new opera company dedicated to bringing new works of music-theater into unconventional spaces. For more information about George’s music, and to hear recordings of recent works, please visit www.gtlam.com.
