FolkBaroque: Musical Conversations

Jonathan Ngeow is one of the most sought-after ruan musicians of his generation. His ability to captivate audiences with his intrinsic musicianship and dynamic presence, coupled with his passion for advocating Chinese music through his media presence, redefines what it means to be a Chinese instrumentalist, making him one of the leading ruan musicians of today. Currently pursuing his Masters of Music Leadership at the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music, Jonathan graduated with First Class Honours from the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts in partnership with the Royal College of Music (London) and the Central Conservatory of Music (Beijing) under the tutelage of Madam Zhang Rong Hui.
