Sun Keting (Rockey Sun) is a China-born, London-based composer, creative director, and researcher whose work explores the meeting points between Eastern philosophy, embodied performance, and contemporary sound. Working across concert music, music-theatre, dance, and multimedia, her practice frequently integrates electronics, movement, and visual dramaturgy. Described by The Independent as “the future way to go” and praised by Bachtrack for her “harmonic imagination” and “mastery of instrumentation,” Keting’s music has been performed internationally by leading ensembles and artists.

​

Keting has written for major organisations including the London Symphony Orchestra, London Philharmonic Orchestra, London Sinfonietta, BBC Singers, National Youth Choir of Great Britain, and Yo-Yo Ma’s Silk Road Ensemble, alongside ensembles such as Riot Ensemble, Psappha Ensemble, Tangram, Ligeti Quartet, and Nash Ensemble. Her work has been presented at leading venues and festivals including the Royal Festival Hall, Wigmore Hall, King’s Place London, Aldeburgh Festival, Cheltenham Festival, LSO St. Luke’s, Britten Pears Arts, Shanghai International Dance Centre, Helsinki Concert Hall, Tête-à-Tête Festival, and the National Concert Hall Dublin.

Her work in dance and theatre includes serving as composer for Birmingham Royal Ballet’s landmark production Black Sabbath – The Ballet, and having her music featured in a choreographic work by Wang Le at the Venice Biennale Danza(2025). Alongside these major productions, she collaborates closely with choreographers on contemporary dance and dance-theatre projects, and leads interdisciplinary stage works as Co-Director of Tangram, operating across both composition and direction, integrating ensemble, dancers, electronics, and visual design.​

Keting holds both a Master’s degree and a Doctorate from the Royal Academy of Music, and previously completed her undergraduate studies at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music.
