Discovering Music – Unlocking By Fung Lam
Sunday 11 January 2009
5.00-6.30pm BBC RADIO 3

Charles Hazlewood is joined by the BBC Concert Orchestra and Chinese composer Fung Lam to explore Fung's new work, Unlocking. Through conversation and diary entries which Fung recorded during the compositional process, the composer traces how this work was written from its conception through to the final version of the piece.

Fung was commisioned by the BBC to write a piece for Discovering Music, the first of a series of three works specially commissioned from contemporary composers.

Taking inspiration from the exhibition of padlocks at the Victoria And Albert Museum, Fung's piece explores themes of codes, secrets and locks.

The programme also includes a feature looking at an education project which composer and animateur Fraser Trainer has been running alongside the composition of Fung's new piece.

Born in 1979 in Hong Kong, Fung Lam is the youngest Chinese composer ever to have received a commission from the BBC Radio 3, following in the footsteps of composers such as Tan Dun, Chen Yi and Zhou Long.
