Ada Lai was Membership Secretary of the Hong Kong Composers’ Guild (2004-2008, 2012-2014) and Administration Secretary (2008-2012).  While serving on the Guild Council, she launched the exhibitions and lectures presented in partnership with the Arts Resource Centre of the Hong Kong Central Library (2008, 2010, 2012) and the SOUND-IMAGination concert series (2012, 2013) supported by the Arts Development Council. 

 

Her works have been performed at different international and Hong Kong music festivals including the Asian Composers’ League music festivals, ISCM World Music Days, and Musicarama.  Memorable commissions included “Pulsating Resonance” written especially for the 60th anniversary celebration concert of her alma mater Chung Chi College of The Chinese University of Hong Kong, and “Songs of Bones and Dust” composed for the Melbourne Composers League (Australia) concert “Four Colours: Indigo”.  Being the Hong Kong representative at the International Rostrum of Composers held at Paris in 2006 was another memorable experience in her career.

 

She completed her Bachelor of Arts (Music), Master of Music (Composition) and Master of Philosophy (Music Theory) at the Chinese University of Hong Kong and graduated with a PhD in Composition from the University of Melbourne. 

 

Ada is an ardent lover of domestic shorthair cats and a keen lawn bowler.
