Brief
I completed my Doctor of Musical Arts Degree (DMA) from the University of Maryland in 2019 and am the first DMA graduate to also hold a Master's in Measurement, Statistics and Evaluation. Since 2020, I've been working in educational research while writing about, and discovering, new repertoire in my free time.

Quotes
“Antiquity through Modernity” was a success; entertainingly, intellectually, and spiritually a satisfying whole; even symmetrical according to the aesthetics of 18th century European classical music! Let there be more from Ryan Chow. - Dr. John Sharpley
“[Ryan] was in complete command throughout, mastering its intricacies and lightning-quick turns with virtuosic aplomb.- Dr Chang Tou Liang
“Not only does he play commandingly, and sometimes thrillingly, but he approaches the study of his pieces with probing dedication." - Bradford Gowen
Extracts
While all roads might lead to Rome, many musical roads lead to neoclassicism. From neoclassicism as satire, profound respect, or establishing a middle-ground between common practice and dodecaphony, there are a host of motivations behind neoclassical impulses.
