Described by The Straits Times as “a more excellent soloist than Rachel Ho, familiar to concertgoers as Red Dot Baroque’s traverso player, would be hard to find,” Rachel Ho is a versatile performer on both the baroque and modern flute. Her world premiere of Eric Watson’s Concerto Arabesque with Resound Collective was lauded for “comfortably surmounting its onerous technical challenges,” while her cross-cultural collaboration with the Vamshika Quintet drew praise for her “pristine tone in perfect conversation with the bansuris, creating true objects of beauty.”

An active orchestral and chamber musician, Rachel has performed internationally with the Sichuan Symphony Orchestra, Ricciotti Ensemble, Baltimore Baroque Band, and locally with Metropolitan Festival Orchestra, Orchestra of the Music Makers (OMM), Resound Collective and as a founding member of Red Dot Baroque. She has worked with renowned artists such as Masaaki Suzuki, Gábor Takács-Nagy, Lang Lang, and has participated in masterclasses with Emmanuel Pahud, Denis Bouriakov and Soyoung Lee.

Rachel was a Festival Artist at the 10th Asia Flutists Congress in Shanghai, served as a jury member for the 3rd Asia Flute Federation Junior Competition and Music Singapore International Competition, and has given masterclasses at the Kings Flute Festival and Music Society of Myanmar Festival. She has also mentored young flautists at the Singapore National Youth Sinfonia and OMM Orchestra Camp.

Beyond performance, Rachel is passionate about music’s role in fostering intergenerational connection and well-being through creative music-making. Her community engagements have included working with children, at-risk youth, the elderly, and persons with dementia. She has facilitated programmes such as Music for Life at WoonZorgcentra Haaglanden (a residential care home for dementia patients), Sing out Loud! with Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay, Take Flight at Singapore Girls’ Home, and Music-making as a Family at the Southeast Asian Music Academy’s Children Music Festival. She also undertook training in Germany with Musicians Without Borders through their Training Music Leaders with Refugees course. Rachel has presented her research on these topics at international symposiums in Singapore (YST Performers(’) Present), Thailand (PGVIS), and Australia (SIMM-posium).
