Bonnie Yung Sin-kan

Bonnie Yung Sin-kan is a Hong Kong composer. Her enthusiasm lies in creating music in relation to the Cantonese language, and explore the relationship between language and music. She's an active chorister and chamber music performer, and she actively participates in arts administration work.

Full of tension and unpredictability, Yung Sin-Kan Bonnie's music often draws inspiration from tiny moments of daily life, and yet there is no lack of philosophical notions in her music. Born and raised in Hong Kong, a multicultural city, her music is well-articulated and daring, often filled with great polarities. Her experience in Estonia and her interest in poetry and literature adds a distinctive taste to her music.

Bonnie was selected by the ABRSM composer mentoring programme in 2024, the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra ( 2019–2022 ) and Toolbox International Creative Academy (2022) as Fellow Composer. She was commissioned by HKSMSA, HKBUC, HKFWO, and Placard Quintet. In 2023, her Cantonese Choral work "in a blink of" was selected in From Constraints to Creativity, A Conference on Cantonese Contemporary Music. Bonnie collaborated with Hong Kong ceramic artists Amie Chan for her film/ceramic projects which was nominated in Global Design Graduate Show 2021, and was selected in Gyeonggi Ceramics Biennale 2024.

Bonnie obtained her Master's degree in Music ( Classical Composition ) cum laude at Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre and Bachelor of Arts ( Hon. ) in Music ( First Honour ) at Hong Kong Baptist University.
