I am Chan Pik-Sum , a local huqin artist in Hong Kong. I graduated from the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts with a Bachelor of Music (Hons) degree, furthered my music studies at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and was awarded a Master of Arts (Music) degree.
I have been the concertmaster of the Hong Kong Youth Chinese Orchestra, the Academy Chinese Orchestra and the Windpipe Chinese Music Ensemble. Upon the invitation of Hong Kong Government's Economic and Trade Offices and other music organizations, I gave performances in the United States, the United Kingdom, Belgium, the Netherlands, Austria, Germany, France, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan and the Mainland.
In addition to interviews and recordings on radio and television, I have recently contributed to the promotion of huqin music, Cantonese music and nanyin in programmes launched by the Education Bureau and tertiary institutions including The Chinese University of Hong Kong. I have also played with leading orchestras and collaborated in many productions with dancers, Chinese operatic singers and multimedia artists in crossover.
