Born in 1997, Xiangning’s childhood passions included dancing to Bollywood musical films, playing pretend school teacher with her grandparents, and being with the piano. Though things look slightly different now, at the heart of it, these instinctive passions for music and education remain aglow with curiosity and creativity, and ultimately through sharing.

After graduating from the School of the Arts Singapore as the Valedictorian of Class of 2015, Xiangning joined the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music’s Bachelor of Music program, and later stayed on to complete the Master of Music program in piano performance. She is currently working as a Teaching Assistant in relation to areas of Music Cognition, Singapore Studies, and Artistic Research.

To date, projects most representative of her interests include: Class of 2019 Graduation Production Springing (co-curated and co-produced with Muse Ye), and the sharing of Deconstructing Sadness (an artistic research project exploring Ravel’s music through American poet Edgar Allan Poe).
