Hong Kong-raised percussionist Hoi Tong Keung believes in the power of music in connecting people from around the world. As a contemporary music advocate, she attended soundSCAPE festival (online) and Sō Percussion Summer Institute (U.S.A.), where she collaborated with composers and premiered their works. As a chamber musician, Hoi Tong has performed in various venues in North America, Europe, and Hong Kong. Together with her colleagues, she performed Viet Cuong’s percussion quartet concerto Renewal with the University of Toronto Wind Ensemble. In summer 2022, she held a residency at Banff Centre as part of KöNG Duo (with fellow percussionist Bevis Ng), where they curated their début performance—“good morning, hong kong.” Hoi Tong’s performance and research interests lie on the interplay between modes of expression, be it Eastern and Western music, acoustic and electronic instruments, audio and visual media, or music and speech. She is a D.M.A. student at the University of Toronto under the tutelage of Aiyun Huang and Beverley Johnston. She holds degrees from Boston Conservatory at Berklee and the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
