Lance Mok is a pianist and composer based in London. He was born and raised in Hong Kong. “A fine musician with searching intelligence and very personable […] an adventurer” (FringeReview, 2020), Lance is noted for his interest and mastery of a wide repertoire of diverse styles and advocacy of contemporary music as well as slightly neglected works by past composers.
Lance’s versatile performance career as a recital and concerto soloist, collaborative pianist, répétieur, and chamber musician has brought him around the United Kingdom and Hong Kong, to Finland, Poland, South Korea, Taiwan, Macau, and the United States. His performances have been broadcast by Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) and Television Broadcasts Ltd.
His regular collaborators include tenor Neil Latchmann, harmonicisit Gordon Lee, and flautist-conductor Marco Leung. He has also performed with the Chung Chi Orchestra under Prof Carmen Koon, London Firebird Orchestra under Nicholas Nebout, cellist Tania Lisboa, harpist Cecilia de Maria, The Coronet Theatre, London Bel Canto Festival, Opera Kensington, Hong Kong Vocal Arts Association, and Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office amongst other musicians and establishments. He has also been regularly invited to perform for charities including the Hospices of Hope.
As a composer, Lance writes music of a wide range of scales from solo instrumental pieces and songs to orchestral and choral works. His works are often inspired by social issues and literature. His latest commissioned work Than Live Silenced, Op. 7 pays tribute to protesters in Hong Kong and is scheduled to be premiered by the Playground Ensemble in June 2022 in Denver, USA. His literature-inspired works show a strong affinity to the poetry of William Shakespeare and John Keats. His ongoing project to set the former’s complete sonnets into song cycles was recently a feature reported by RTHK’s TV programme The Works. Earlier, he was named the Firebird Composer of the Year 2017 by the London Firebird Orchestra for his work Two Loves, Op. 2 and was awarded the Composers and Authors Society of Hong Kong Scholarship in 2016.
Lance obtained his Master of Music degree in Piano Performance from the Royal College of Music in 2018, where he studied with the college’s former Head of Keyboard Andrew Ball. Having graduated from The Chinese University of Hong Kong with a First in 2016 under the tutelage of Dr Pang Jane Cheung, he was named a Hong Kong Scholar by the Hong Kong Government the same year for a full tuition scholarship for his studies in London. His other teachers include Simon Holt, Prof Daniel Law, and Prof Victor Chan in composition, Andrew Zolinsky in accompaniment, and Jimmy Foon-sheung Chan in voice. Lance was named a Fellow of the Royal Schools of Music in 2018.
