Radwan is a keen chamber musician and the founding member of the Hongs Quartet. The quartet has attended masterclasses by the Alban Berg Quartet, Takacs Quartet, Quatuor Ysaye, Quatuor Ébène, Quatuor Danel, Endellion Quartet, and the Marmen Quartet. It was also accepted to the Schiermonnikoog Festival, where it attended ensemble masterclasses with Marc Danel and Gary Hoffmann. In 2023, the quartet was selected to participate in the Netherlands String Quartet Academy (NSKA).
Radwan is also an active orchestral cellist in London and Hong Kong. He has performed in the RCM Symphony Orchestra and the RCM Philharmonic, working closely with Jac Van Steen, Martyn Brabbins and Maxim Vangerov. He was also appointed as the principal cellist in the Pro Arte Orchestra and served as the chairman of his high school senior string orchestra and cello principal. Radwan won multiple prizes in the Hong Kong Schools Music Festival and other local competitions, including the champion of the 68th Hong Kong Schools Music Festival Symphony Orchestra Champion (Intermediate), and the Gold Award of the Hong Kong Youth Music Interflows.
Radwan is actively performing in Europe and Asia, including in China, Denmark, Hong Kong, France, Germany, Switzerland and the UK. He was also invited to perform in concert in the presence of key government officials in Hong Kong, such as the Curriculum Development Council of the Hong Kong Education Bureau, which received positive acclaim.
