Chloe Chung

Chloe Chung is a multi-style flautist performing on Western classical flute and dizi, co-creating with others to foster meaningful connections on Gadigal land, Sydney, and beyond.

A tapestry of influences shape her body of work, including her Malaysian-Singaporean-Chinese roots, classical music training, traditional Chinese music, poetry and improvisation as a tool for building bridges of connection between people, places, and things. She has performed at the Sydney Opera House Re-Tuning festival (solo, 2023), BackStage Music (solo, 2022), and most recently as the multi-flutes player in the touring orchestra of the Miss Saigon Asia tour (2024).

Recent creative partnerships include the long-standing Sidere Duo with pianist-composer Pavle Cajic, Box of Chocolates duo with Torres Strait Islander songman and didgeridoo player Murraywa Dow, and DeeBeeTees duo with composer and multi-instrumentalist Liz Cheung. In 2020, Chloe founded the Dreambox Collective as Artistic Director - a musician and artist collective putting on interactive concert projects partnered with local charities, NGOs and artists for positive social impact.

Chloe holds Master of Music (2018) and Bachelor of Music (2016) degrees from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. The former was undertaken under the Australian Postgraduate Award, and involved exploring the performance practice of the traditional Chinese flute from a classical flute perspective, including field research in Singapore, Hangzhou and Shanghai. In 2018, Chloe participated in Yoyo Ma’s Silk Road Ensemble, the Global Musicians Workshop, promoting multicultural artistic exchange. Her past flute teachers include James Kortum, Aldo Baerton, Alison Mitchell, Alexa Still, and Jocelyn Fazzone. Her dizi teachers include Qiu Dongming, Chai Changning and Zhan Yongming.
