conductor ever to hold music directorships both of a western symphony orchestra
and a major Chinese instrument symphony orchestra. He presently holds posts as Conductor Laureate of the Hong

and Music Director of the South Bend Symphony Orchestra.

1991, he was among three conductors chosen for the Conductor Mentor Program of
the ASOL 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.
His interest in contemporary music, both eastern and western, has led to
highly acclaimed appearances with the Ensemble 2e2m in Paris, Ensemble de
Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, and the Hua Xia Ensemble (both in
China and France) and the ASCAP Award for Adventurous Programming.
Tsung Yeh is also Co-Artistic Director of the “Symphonic Workshop”
