However, this lack of activity turned out to be a blessing in disguise as it gave him the opportunity to observe what the other musicians in the band were doing and how all the parts fit together in a musical composition.
His choral works have been sung by the Gaia Philharmonic Chorus (Japan), Windsbacher Knabenchor (Germany), Singapore Youth Choir and Calvin College Capella (USA).
Tang's compositions have been performed at prestigious venues worldwide including Carnegie Hall, Vienna Musikverien, Berlin Konzerthaus, Auditorium di Milano, Museum of Musical Instruments, The Rodahal, St. Paul’s Cathedral and Sydney Opera House.
His works have been featured at the Cultural Diversity in Music Education (CDIME) and World Association of Symphonic Bands & Ensembles (WASBE) international conferences.
Through the annual Singapore Youth Festival, Tang’s music is performed each year by thousands of students in school choirs and wind bands.
