Tangram
Alex Ho is co-director with Reylon Yount of Tangram, a London-based music collective growing transnational community by creatively celebrating Chinese cultures. They have been appointed Associate Artists at LSO St Luke's for three seasons, until 2024/25.
Tangram's recent work was described as a ‘dazzling instrumental display’ and ‘at the cutting edge of contemporary debates around identity’ by icareifyoulisten.com.
Alex Ho created anti-opera Untold for Tangram, a stage work which examines the racialised experiences of transnational Chinese communities. Untold explores a theme of ‘not fitting in’ by adapting the Chinese folkstory of Ye Xian, one of the early precursors to the Cinderella fairytale. Future performances are planned in Antwerp, Ghent, Rotterdam and the UK in 2023.
Alex Ho interviewed for BBC Radio 3 Free Thinking
In 2022, Alex Ho was interviewed for BBC Radio 3’s Free Thinking about Chinese identity in contemporary classical music. His interview begins at 22 minutes.
The Critics' Circle'He combines a coherent individual voice with a breadth of styles, genres and instrumental disciplines, all fired by the spark of his imagination, combining his Chinese heritage and Western Classical form in a compelling and individual way.'
Schmopera'Purposefully nebulous, refusing to be slotted into any one genre.'
