Equally conversant in the fields of choral music, Christian worship theology and practices, technology, and accounting and business, Kai Ton Chau’s diverse background has brought him into a career of international scope. With a particular interest in the higher education sector — especially in teaching, research, and academic administration, his calling and vocation revolve around serving, learning, and teaching.

Appointed as a visiting scholar at Calvin College in 2014, Kai Ton continues his research and writing in the field of Christian worship, and his effort in teaching and nurturing worship and music ministry, particularly among the ethnic Chinese churches in North America. Kai Ton held the position of Associate Professor of Music Studies and Jack Van Laar Endowed Chair of Music and Worship at Kuyper College in Grand Rapids, Michigan. In addition to directing the college choir and ensemble, he taught music theory and chaired the Arts and Sciences department. His diverse career in Hong Kong, Canada, and the United States has afforded him the opportunities to serve at various churches, inter-church events, mass choirs, and institutions of higher education (including the Institute for Christian Studies in Toronto, and Redeemer University College in Ancaster, Canada).
