Yu Chun Chan is an erhu player and composer from Hong Kong, China. In 2024, he was awarded a full-tuition scholarship to attend Berklee College of Music, where he continues to deepen his understanding of Chinese traditional music while exploring its intersections with other genres to forge a unique path for erhu performance and composition.
At Berklee, Chan received the Instrumental Performance Award at the Career Jam concert and award show. He was also featured as both a performer and composer at South by Southwest in 2025 and was commissioned by the Berklee Global String Ensemble and Harvard CAMLab to compose for a multimedia installation exploring Buddhist culture.
Before attending Berklee, Chan studied under the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra and served as concertmaster of the Hong Kong Young Chinese Orchestra. In 2024, he was honored to receive scholarships from the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra, the Hong Kong Schools Alumni Federation, and Diocesan Boys’ School in support of his undergraduate studies.
Yu Chun Chan will be performing as part of Berklee’s Summer in the City 2025 concert series. View all concerts.
