Bun-Ching LAM was born in Macao in 1954. She began studying piano at the age of seven and gave her first solo recital at the age of fifteen. In 1976, she received a Bachelor of Arts degree in piano performance from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, studied with David Gwilt. She then accepted a scholarship to further her music studies in the United States and subsequently earned a Doctor of Philosophy degree in composition from the University of California at San Diego in 1981. The same year, she was invited to join the music faculty of the Cornish College of Arts in Seattle, teaching composition, theory and piano.   Winner of a 1991 Rome Prize Fellowship, Lam has also won first prizes in the Hong Kong Conservatory Art Song Competition, the Northwest Composer's Symposium, the Aspen Music Festival, and the highest honor at the Shanghai Music Competition, which was the first international composers' contest that took place in China. She is also a recipient of grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, Seattle Arts Commission and Meet the Composer.    Active also as a pianist and conductor, she was most recently invited to conduct the Macau Sinfonietta in a program including the premiere of "Saudades de Macau," commissioned by the Macau Cultural Institute. Among her other commissioned works are "Impetus" for the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra, "Social Accidents" for the American Dance Festival, "Similia/Dissimilia" for the duo (Trom-bown) and "Klang" for Swiss percussionist Fritz Hauser.  Lam now lives and works in New York.
