Music

I primarily perform music from the classical tradition, spanning all eras—from Baroque and Classical to Romantic, and Contemporary works. Alongside these, I have a deep interest in adapting traditional Chinese flute music for the Western concert flute, exploring its expressive nuances and unique tonal colors.

Composers I enjoy performing and programming include:
Bach, Telemann, Mozart, CPE Bach, Doppler, Debussy, Karg-Elert, Villa-Lobos, Otaka, and Coleman
