Wan Tsz-yui Isaac
尹梓睿
As a handbell enthusiast, Wan has been keen in exploring various fields in handbell music. Having shadowed Dr John Behnke on composition and Ms Christine Chan on conducting, his accumulated experiences enabled him to further develop his passion and expertise. Wan is now a handbell conductor, composer, arranger, and ringer. He is also one of the co-founders of Hong Kong-based community handbell choir Volitio Ringers. Wan was introduced to the world of handbells when he was 12 by joining the Handbells and Handchimes Team in his secondary school. Since being chosen as the leader of the team at the age of 15, Wan has started to arrange music for performances and developed the hobby of arranging and composing music. After graduation, Wan became one of the founding members of Volitio Ringers, now one of the conductors and composers of the team. Wan's keenness towards composing and arranging expanded through majoring in music at the University of Hong Kong, where he held his first lecture recital on ‘Arranging Handbell Music’ in April 2024.
作為一名手鈴愛好者，尹氏一直熱衷於探索手鈴音樂的各個領域。尹氏師從Dr John Behnke學習作曲，以及陳彥琪女士學習指揮，積累的經驗使他能夠進一步發展對手鈴的熱情和專業知識。尹氏現在是一名手鈴指揮、作曲家、編曲家和樂手。他也是香港社區手鈴隊Volitio Ringers的聯合創始人之一。 尹氏在 12 歲時加入了中學的手鈴和手鐘隊，從而接觸到了手鈴的世界。自從15歲被選為團隊負責人以來，尹氏開始為演出編曲，並養成了編曲和作曲的愛好。畢業後，尹氏成為了Volitio Ringers的創始成員之一，現在是該團隊的指揮和作曲家之一。尹氏對作曲和編曲的熱情在香港大學主修音樂時得到了擴展，他亦於2024年4月在那裡舉行了他的第一次講座音樂會 ‘Arranging Handbell Music’。
