As a chamber musician, Clarisse appears most often in piano duet and duo settings. She and her duo partner presented a sold-out concert at the Esplanade Recital Studio (Singapore) in 2016, where they explored a diverse range of 20th Century piano duo works from Gershwin to Poulenc. Additionally, Clarisse has collaborated with professional Japanese instrumentalists from the Min-On Ensemble to perform a mix of Western Classical and traditional Japanese music for a concert celebrating the 50th anniversary of Singapore-Japan bilateral relations.

Under the tutelage of Timothy Ku (piano) and Marietta Ku (violin and viola), Clarisse obtained a FRSM in piano, DipABRSM (Distinction) in violin and DipABRSM in viola. Whilst pursuing an undergraduate degree in Law at the National University of Singapore, Clarisse was a performer and Student Music Director with the university’s piano ensemble. Thereafter, she studied with Sinae Lee at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland on a partial scholarship and attained a Master of Music in piano performance. Clarisse is now pursuing a Doctor of Performing Arts degree under the supervision of Sinae Lee and Dr. Christina Guillaumier with the support of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland Trust and the Trailblazer Foundation. Over the course of her studies, she has played for a masterclass conducted by Steven Osborne, accompanied vocal performance classes led by Julian Tovey, and been engaged as an accompanist for end-of-year examination recitals. She will be embarking on her third year of studies this coming fall.
