The Concertgebouw, founded in 1888, selected Huang Ruo to be the first composer-in-residence in its history. The residency that covers the 2015-16 season is launched on December 12, 2015, with the world premiere of Unscrolled, a concerto for piano and orchestra. The Concertgebouw will feature one more world premiere and several other compositions by Huang Ruo. The Chinese-born American composer now lives in Amsterdam and also shares his experiences on Tumblr.
