Francis Reyes

Francis Reyes (b. 2005) is a Vancouver based Filipino-Canadian pianist and composer studying at the University of British Columbia under Dorothy Chang and Edward Top. Drawing from jazz, expressionist, and popular music, his compositional practice continues to metamorphosize with the intent of evoking different philosophical and psychological themes found in literature, visual arts, video games, and even manga. As a result, his music calls forth in juxtaposition moments of humour, beauty, and the overtly grotesque with an emphasis on timbre and harmony. His music has been performed by distinguished ensembles such as the Victoria Symphony, Standing Wave Ensemble, Vancouver Inter-Cultural Orchestra, and Black Dog String Quartet.
