Open your mind, ears and heart and enjoy the different tunes of the ruan and find your own escape.

Neil Chua 蔡为仲
Composer, Ruan 作曲 , 阮
Neil is the first and youngest musician in Shanghai Conservatory of Music to receive a Master Degree in Music - Ruan (阮). His ability to bond different cultures into his music led to an invitation to participate in the highly acclaimed international music exchange programme OneBeat 2014 organised by the U.S. State Department's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs to interact, educate and promote Ruan (阮) to students and musicians from around the world.
His passion for cultural music also earns him a place in Cello Maestro Mr. Yoyo Ma’s Silkroad’s Global Musicians Workshop where globally minded musicians engaged in learning from one another’s traditions and incorporating them into their own artistic voices. His dedication to the traditional arts led him to be the first artist-in-residency for the inaugural National Arts Council Stamford Arts Centre Traditional Arts Residency Programme.
Neil is also the Founder of RuanAtWorkz Musical Arts (R.A.W.), a Charity which promotes traditional culture, music, art and other form of traditional values
