After graduating from the University of North Texas with a major in jazz performance, Teriver Cheung spent years of his music career in New York, which makes Cheung one of the very few Hong Kong-born international jazz guitarists and composers. 

 

Cheung has frequently collaborated with musicians including Grammy Award winners and nominees Eddie Gómez, Eric Marienthal and Keita Ogawa. As the leader of his ensemble, he toured with his group and appeared at major music festivals. In 2015, Cheung curated the multimedia concert Hong Kong Episodes and co-wrote an original work in collaboration with the classical music composer Fung Lam. As a project commissioned by the World Cultures Festival 2015, Hong Kong Episodes received critical acclaim. In 2017, the Hong Kong Episodes was invited to do a world tour and was presented at “The Hong Kong Music Series” in London and “Hong Kong Week 2017 @ Taipei”. As a cultural touring programme to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the establishment of the HKSAR, Hong Kong Episodes was also performed in six cities in the Mainland. 

 

In 2017 Cheung established Ensemble Transience, and has organised three phases of programmes supported by the Arts Capacity Development Funding Scheme. The aim of the programmes is to explore more creative collaborations and musical possibilities between jazz and classical musicians, and to promote musical education to the younger generation. In 2019, he curated and performed for Jazz Gala－The Legend and Beyond at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre Concert Hall, as part of the celebration activities for the centre’s 30th Anniversary. Other major concerts that Cheung curated and took part in include “Jazz Up” Series: The Present – Jazz Festival of an Inward Journey in 2021, Concert – A Dialogue Between Jazz and Guangdong Music in 2022, and Endor under the “25 · 35 Performing Arts Carnival”, which was held at five performance venues in 2022. 

 

With his unique sound and rich musical background, Cheung has become one of the most active composers, performers and curators in Hong Kong. As a collaborating jazz artist, he performed with the Hong Kong Sinfonietta, Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra, and participated in various productions in the mainstream music industry. As an educator, he is the guest tutor and lecturer at the Chinese University of Hong Kong and the Education University of Hong Kong. Cheung also frequently gave music workshops and guided concerts at different universities and secondary schools, introducing Jazz and improvisation to the young audience.

 

In 2020, Cheung received The Secretary for Home Affairs' Commendation for his long term dedication towards promotion of art and culture. In the same year, his independent band R.O.O.T. won the 2nd place of the Best New Artist at the 903 Ultimate Song Chart Awards Presentation. Sunrise, an album co-composed by Cheung and the local musician Sotoc, was nominated for the 34th Golden Melody Awards “Best Instrumental Album”.
