Chen was born in Guangzhou, China and at an early age began studying Western Classical music. During the cultural revolution she was forced to work in the fields in the countryside where she learned all about Chinese folk music. Afterwards, she returned to her studies and eventually moved to America and earned a doctorate in composition. Chines and Western music traditions are masterfully blended in her music.
