He is currently in his fifth season as Artistic Director of the acclaimed Piedmont East Bay Children’s Choir, where he oversees a rigorous choral training program serving over 300 youth singers, and leads its top ensembles in concerts and collaborations throughout the Bay Area, the US, and abroad. As Artistic Director of Convivium, the chamber chorus he founded in 2012, he continues to present creative programs highlighting underrepresented compositional voices and themes of social justice.

His dedication to the creation and exploration of new music has led him to conduct and perform the world premieres of over thirty works. Tuan has also sung professionally with Volti, Cappella SF, and the Philharmonia Baroque Chorale, and has received acclaim for his sensitive work as a collaborative pianist, continuo player, and répétiteur (an accompanist, tutor, or coach of ballet dancers or opera singers).
