Description
The Longfellow Summer Arts Festival brings music, poetry, and community to the East Lawn of the Longfellow House on Sunday afternoons through the summer. All events are free and open to the public. This concert is presented in partnership with the Berklee Summer in the City concert series.
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.
