Pang Chun-ting (b. 1983) is a Hong Kong–born composer and educator whose work probes musical fragility, memory, and the charged space of allusion. His music has been performed by leading new-music ensembles including Vertixe Sonora, Ensemble Linea, Israel Contemporary Players, Quatuor Makrokosmos, Ensemble Ascolta, and the Hong Kong New Music Ensemble, among others. Drawing on Cantonese speech contours, urban soundscapes of Hong Kong, and literary and cross-cultural references, Pang shapes finely detailed textures that hover between resonance and disappearance.

A graduate of the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, Pang later earned his master’s degree from New England Conservatory and his Ph.D. in composition from the University at Buffalo. His principal composition teachers have included David Felder, Malcolm Peyton, and Law Wing-fai. He has also received mentorship from composers such as Chaya Czernowin, Brian Ferneyhough, Jukka Tiensuu, and Augusta Read Thomas through residencies and courses including the Dian Red Kechil International Young Composers Residency, Royaumont Voix Nouvelles, Sävellyspaja, and the Composers Conference at Wellesley College.
