Versatility is his name: As a flautist, Rit Xu has proved to be one of Singapore’s rising talents, distinguishing himself through wonderfully lyrical, thoughtful and emotionally driven performances on the flute. At home in both jazz and contemporary classical realms, he dazzles with breath-taking virtuosity and elegance. Ever since becoming the first South-east Asian to win a solo jazz competition when he clinched the top prize at the United States National Flute Association (NFA) Jazz Artist Competition in 2014, he has gone from strength to strength. A name to watch.
