Background
Lam studied music in Toronto (The Royal Conservatory of Music 1954-1958) and Los Angeles (University of Southern California 1960-1963[5]). He travelled extensively around the world to international conferences, seminars, workshops, festivals and Rostrums, in order to maintain his sensitivity and knowledge in the music world.
From 1964 to 1994, Lam served actively in Hong Kong as a composer, conductor, lecturer, journalist, protector of performing rights, promoter of music exchanges in Asia and around the globe. His objective in writing music was to create modern Chinese music by applying avant garde technique on traditional roots.
Lam died on 11 January 2023, at the age of 96.[1]
