Ping Pong and Orchestra??

Nowadays, there are numerous possibilities in contemporary music, crossover with dace, drama, or even Cantonese Opera is not very special already. But how about with sports?

As we all know, it is difficult to control the speed, and even when the ball drops even when we are playing it. But in this piece, "Ricochet" • Concerto for Ping Pong, Violin, Percussion & Orchestra, show that it might be possible to make this happen.

Being an orchestral player, I found that it's difficult to play contemporary music, especially those orchestral works, as it's technically challenging and also difficult to understand. Nonetheless, when listening this piece, I guess it could be fun to play this.

Hopefully in next year's composition workshop, our classmates would bring out some new elements for their works.
