Based in Naarm, Melbourne, Tintin is a violinist, playing and experimenting with music to connect with people across the city. Not only has he played in a variety of concert venues but has also taken to the lively streets of Melbourne to busk with Melbourne City’s On the Road Again Program. Regardless of the performance space, he loves to entertain and share music with other people.

Through his studies, he has taken part in a range of projects and ensembles such as Monash Academy Orchestra, Finalist in Monash University’s Australian Classical Music Prize in 2023 & 2024, and the Solidarity Concert for Afghanistan in 2021.
