Tan Dun From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search This is a Chinese name ; the family name is 譚/è°­ (Tan) Tan Dun (pinyin: T¡n D¹n, 譚盾, 谭盾; born August 18 ) is a Chinese contemporary classical composer , most widely known for his Grammy and Oscar -award winning scores for the movies Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Hero Contents Early life in China Move to America Musical style and compositions Operas ... edit Early life in China Tan Dun was born in the village of Simao, Changsha in the Hunan province of China . As a child, he was fascinated by the role in his village of the shimao , who conducted rituals and ceremonies, often set to music made with organic objects such as rocks and water. However, as a child in the midst of China's cultural revolution , he found this kind of "backward thinking" frowned upon, and he was sent to work as a rice planter on a government commune. That, however, had little effect on his affinity for music. He created his own musical group, utilizing peasants in the village and playing whatever they could, sometimes just banging on pots and pans. It was from these peasants that he began to learn to play traditional Chinese string instruments. His escape from the commune came in the form of a government sponsored touring company of the Peking opera . When a ferry full of performers capsized near the commune, killing several of them, Tan was employed by the troupe and left the commune.

Tan Dun unites Chinese shamanistic traditions with the western avant-garde, reaching audiences through venues from the Concertgebouw, Avery Fisher Hall and Suntory Hall, to the Guggenheim Museum and La MaMa ETC. This year, Tan will be the featured composer at the Ultima Festival (Oslo), the Festival d'Automne (Paris), the BBC Proms (London), and the Helsinki Biennale which hosts the world premiere of his cello concerto Intercourse of Fire and Water: Yi . His works have been selected for major festivals around the world and have been broadcast often by National Public Radio, the BBC and Berlin Radio.

Tan Dun was born in 1957 in Si Mao village in central Hunan, China and spent his early childhood with his grandmother, growing up amidst the ancient culture of a rural Chinese village. After planting rice for two years during the Cultural Revolution, and then working as a fiddle player and arranger for a provincial Beijing Opera troupe, Tan was selected for the Central Conservatory of Beijing where he spent eight years.
