Derrick Wang is a composer, writer, and consultant on music and law.


He is the creator of the “brilliant,” “buoyant,” and “fiercely entertaining” Supreme Court opera Scalia/Ginsburg.


As a thinker and advisor, he shows how creativity can unite us in a divided world.

Composer Derrick Wang heard music in an unlikely place -- constitutional law. His comic opera Scalia/Ginsburg was inspired by the contrasting Supreme Court opinions of Justices Antonin Scalia and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who were -- despite their differences -- close friends. Among Scalia/Ginsburg's first fans were the Justices themselves, who invited it to be performed at the Supreme Court.

His new musical drama, Fearless, received its world premiere at OperaDelaware in 2025.
