Ian Coyukiat
Ian Coyukiat is a fourth year Medical Student at the University of Melbourne, pursuing his medical studies after completing his Bachelor of Music in classical voice in 2021. In 2020, he began composing choral and orchestral music while Melbourne was in lockdown and has continued writing since!
Growing up to a multicultural family, his music centres around nature, nostalgia, and the exploration of the human condition. Raised as a ‘classical’ musician—beginning classical piano lessons at the age of three—he turned towards jazz as a form of adolescent rebellion, and has stayed with the ‘dark’ side as his main genre of music performance.
Prior orchestral performances of his work include from Mount Taibai in 2022, and Canton Road and Landscape with the Fall of Icarus in 2023. This year, AMSO will be playing his new composition, Urania’s Mirror (A View of the Heavens). He has conducted the University of Melbourne Medical Student’s Orchestra (UMMSSO) since 2023, and has been the Music Director for Medleys: the Med Revue since 2022.
