Symphony New Hampshire Music Director Finalist Tianhui Ng on Programming, Audiences, and More

In Friday’s (4/17) New Hampshire Public Radio, Joe Boehnlein reports, “When Maestro Roger Kalia announced his decision to step down as the music director of Symphony New Hampshire at the end of the 2024-25 season, executive director Deanna Hoying assembled a search committee composed of board members, musicians, and community leaders to identify his successor. Five finalists were chosen, and over the next season each finalist will curate and conduct a concert while participating in meet-and-greet events across New Hampshire. Audience members will have the opportunity to provide feedback for the individual concerts through surveys … The next finalist to perform is Tianhui Ng. He will perform ‘New Hampshire Passions’… on Sat., April 18 … Ng was born in Singapore and did his undergraduate work in the United Kingdom. Ng came to the United States for his graduate studies in conducting. He is the music director for the Pioneer Valley Symphony, New England Philharmonic, The Victory Players, and White Snake projects. In addition, Ng teaches at Mount Holyoke College, as the director of Orchestral Studies.” In the interview, Ng discusses programming, relating to audiences, and discovering current and historic composers.
