ALAN WONG
Beginners Program Principal Conductor
"From the tender first notes in a kindergarten classroom to the soaring crescendos of the orchestra, I believe music education is a bridge that carries a child’s soul from silence to piece. I pour my heart into shaping an orchestra where every young musician’s spirit intertwines, creating a sound that trembles with the beauty of their unity and the depth of our shared love for music."
