About the speaker


Kee Chee Koon is the first Singaporean to earn a doctorate in qin studies in China. He spent more than twenty years reconstructing thirty-two ancient qin compositions from the Qin Entablature of the Great Return Pavilion, compiled in the 17th century. In additional to researching and performing, Kee is a passionate educator who is dedicated to teaching new generations about the art of the qin.
