Who is Wang Jie?
Wang Jie is a Chinese-born American composer.
Wang Jie was born and raised in Shanghai. She was a known piano prodigy at age five. A scholarship from the Manhattan School of Music brought her to the US, in 2000, where she studied composition with Nils Vigeland and Richard Danielpour. Her work has been performed across the United States, Asia, and Europe. She has received honors and awards from ASCAP, the BMI Foundation, the American Music Center, Opera America, and the Manhattan School of Music, among others.
While she was still a student, her tragic opera Nannan was showcased by the New York City Opera's VOX, Contemporary Opera Lab. Flown, a chamber opera meditation on two lovers who must separate, was produced by the Music Theatre Group, and the Emily Dickenson-inspired song cycle I Died for Beauty was featured at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Modern Music Festival. Her piano trio, Shadow, which dramatizes the inner life of an autistic child, was performed by the New Juilliard Ensemble as curtain-raiser for the Museum of Modern Art's Summergarden concert series.
