Born and raised in Hong Kong, Ken Luk is a classically trained performer and teacher based in Rochester, New York. Through his love of the Brazilian choro and the cavaquinho, Ken slowly uncovers the connection between the vast families of small plucked string instruments: the machete and rajão from Madeira, the cuk and cak from Indonesia, and the ukulele from Hawaii. Apart from the guitar and mandolin, Ken enjoys playing his own arrangements and compositions on the ukulele. Ken teaches at the Eastman Community Music School, SUNY Geneseo, and Alfred University.
