Clarinetist Chua Jay Roon, a fourth-year student at the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music, steps into the spotlight at the Singapore Symphony’s President’s Young Performers Concert. In this episode, Jay Roon shares her journey with the clarinet, the excitement of being selected for this milestone and why the instrument feels like an extension of her own personality.

She talks about the joy of those rehearsal moments that remind her why she loves music, what she enjoys outside of the practice room, and the challenge of preparing Nielsen’s fiery Clarinet Concerto for her debut with the SSO.
