Meet our June featured alum: Joan Tan

From January through May, Joan Tan (‘21) participated in an exchange at Sibelius Academy, University of the Arts Helsinki. She studied composition under Veli-Matti Pumala and learned electroacoustic composition from Alejandro Montes de Oca.

Joan also recently received a scholarship from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), and will be doing a summer German language program at Leipzig University in June 2022.

Last but certainly not least, she has been accepted into the Valencia International Performance Academy & Festival 2022 (VIPA). Joan is currently writing a string quartet for the Mivos Quartet, entitled Constellation Configurations, which will be premiered in Valencia, Spain this July.

Check out Joan’s SoundCloud, where her piece will be uploaded after the performance.

Congratulations on your many accomplishments, Joan!
