Maestro Tsung Yeh




Shanghai-born conductor Tsung Yeh has the distinction of being the first conductor ever to hold music directorships of both a western symphony orchestra and a major Chinese instrument symphony orchestra. He presently serves as Conductor Laureate of the Hong Kong Sinfonietta, Music Director of the Singapore Chinese Orchestra, and Music Director of the South Bend Symphony Orchestra.

In an age where conductors specialize in ever-narrowing niches within the musical world, Maestro Yeh repeatedly demonstrates the unique ability to transcend boundaries both musical and cultural on three continents. As Music Director and Principal Conductor of the South Bend Symphony Orchestra since 1988, Maestro Yeh has helped build the organization into one of the finest regional orchestras in the central United States.

He was among three conductors chosen for the Conductor Mentor Program of the American Symphony Orchestra League working with Daniel Barenboim and Pierre Boulez at the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. He previously held posts as Exxon/Arts Endowment Conductor of the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra, Resident Conductor of The Florida Orchestra, Principal Guest Conductor of the Albany Symphony Orchestra, Music Director of the Northwest Indiana Symphony Orchestra, and Music Director of the Hong Kong Sinfonietta. Maestro Yeh has appeared with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, The Minnesota Orchestra, Rochester Philharmonic, Singapore Symphony, China National Symphony, Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, and Calgary Philharmonic.

Appointed Music Director of the Singapore Chinese Orchestra in January 2002, Maestro Yeh has led the orchestra through an era of remarkable progress, helping it to become an orchestra of international status. In addition to highly successful concerts in its own hall, the orchestra frequently performs to sold-out audiences in Singapore's famous The Esplanade Arts Center, including the opening extravaganza of the facility. In March and April 2005, the orchestra marked its first tour of Europe traveling to the Barbican Centre in London, The Sage Gateshead in New Castle, England and the Budapest Spring Festival.

Mr. Yeh has recorded for the Hugo and Delos record labels with several orchestras. His performances have been broadcast on radio throughout the U.S., Europe and Asia.
