Serene is a recording artist with Navona Records (PARMA Recordings), currently enjoying a diverse career in Hong Kong as a soloist, chamber musician, and pedagogue. As a soloist, she is particularly devoted to transcriptions and music that evokes a strong sense of spirituality. Chamber music is also close to her heart, and she strives to explore lesser-known chamber works with her colleagues.
In 2019, Serene reached the semi-final stage of Queensland International Chamber Music Competition in Australia. Later that year, she began performing with Greenies Piano Duo. Alongside music grounded in traditional concepts, she has a strong passion for new music and enjoys collaborating with like-minded musicians worldwide. Her notable collaborations include projects with Swedish composer Jonathan Östlund and Bosnian composer Faruk Mehić.
The year 2025 marked a significant career highlight: Serene released an all-Bach album with flutist Cleo Leung through Navona Records in celebration of Bach’s 340th anniversary, and made her Japan debut in summer.
Graduated from Queensland Conservatorium of Music, Serene studied piano with Dr Therese Milanovic and Daniel de Borah. Besides aspirations to pursue a career as classical pianist, she is also enthusiastic about organ music. As a recipient of Walter Monz Organ Bursary 2011, she has studied with Christopher Wrench, and was appointed Church Organist at St Andrew’s Lutheran Church in Brisbane (2011-2012). Since returning to Hong Kong in late 2017, she has also enjoyed performing as organist.
