Su Lian Tan (born 1964)
Su Lian Tan was born in Malaysia and studied at Julliard, Bennington, and Princeton. As a flutist, she often performed new music of other composers and herself. She has been teaching composition at Middlebury College since 1994.
Although two albums of Su Lian Tan’s music are available on Spotify (Revelations and Jamaica’s Songs, U-Don Rock & River of the Trunk) and excerpts are available on YouTube, not much is available on YouTube in the form of live performances. But here is the raucous Moo Shu Wrap-Rap (1995) for brass quintet and percussion.
