Midnight Visions for orchestra (2024) 10’
Commissioned and premiered by the Singapore Symphony, conducted by Pierre Bleuse
“The evening commenced with Koh Cheng Jin’s Midnight Visions, whose eerie nocturnal effects neatly presaged the black sabbath of the concluding Berlioz . Koh, who is still not yet 30, clearly knows how to get great effects out of the orchestra, and her work - which moved from crawling glissandi through lush, expressionist string textures to climax on a Shostakovich-esque rhythmic ostinato - was a masterclass in instrumentation.” - The Straits Times, Singapore

Winner of the 2022 BMI Composer Award (William Schuman Prize) and 2022 ASCAP Morton Gould Award
“Ingeniously scored by including yangqin, harp, piano, trumpet and multiple percussion instruments, its short duration seemed a vivid portrayal of bioluminescence, filled with brilliant scintillation and ebullient, light-hearted effects.” - The Straits Times, Singapore
