His music has been performed in major European venues including the Berlin Philharmonie and the Vienna Musikverein Golden Hall, and has been featured by media across the UK, China, Austria, Germany and Romania.This concert at the Royal College of Music offers a rare opportunity to experience a complete symphonic portrait of a young composer whose imagination, structural command, and intellectual depth are reshaping expectations of what contemporary orchestral music can be.Carey Tan appears on stage as both composer and performer, joining the orchestra on piano and marimba — a rare and compelling artistic model that unites creation and performance in real time.The concert is performed by the London City Philharmonic, an orchestra known for its commitment to contemporary music and major premieres, under the direction of Olsi Qinami, Principal Conductor and Music Director.This is not simply a concert by a young composer. It is an invitation to witness a serious symphonic mind in the process of becoming — to hear how orchestral music can respond, today, to the world we live in.For audiences interested in contemporary music, large-scale symphonic thinking, and the future direction of the orchestra, this is a concert not to be missed.PROGRAMMEPiano Concerto No. 1 — The ExplorersWith the composer as piano soloistI.

Construction of AI HumanityII. Dwelling in RealityIII. Nature and the UniverseIV. Collapse and DestructionV. Ashes and EchoesA five-movement symphonic narrative exploring the birth of artificial intelligence, technological expansion, environmental imbalance, and civilisational collapse — a musical meditation on progress, responsibility, and the future.The London City Philharmonic (LCP) presents symphonic and operatic repertoire and is committed to providing young musicians and soloists with meaningful professional performance opportunities through high-quality concert productions. During the 2024-2025 season, LCP undertook an extensive concert programme across China, appearing in major venues including Shanghai Symphony Hall, Shanghai Oriental Art Centre, Shanghai Poly Theatre, Yangzhou Concert Hall and other leading concert halls nationwide.
