Innovative programming and a commitment to commissioning new works inspire greater audience participation and meaningful artistic and educational collaborations. Through the nationally acclaimed Harmony Fellowship programme and numerous award-winning education and community engagement programmes, the Symphony strives to be a leader in racial equity in the arts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Perry So was born in Hong Kong in 1982, where he received early musical training in piano, organ, violin, viola and composition. He later received a BA in Comparative Literature from Yale University, specialising in 20th century Central European music and literature. During this time, he founded an academic orchestra and conducted lyric productions with graduate students. In 2008, he studied conducting at the Peabody Institute in Baltimore under Maestro Gustav Meier and won First Prize and Special Prize at the 5th St. Petersburg International Prokofiev Conducting Competition. Following this accolade, he was appointed Assistant Conductor and then Associate Conductor of the Hong Kong Philharmonic and later became part of the Los Angeles Philharmonic&#8217;s Dudamel Fellowship Programme, and has since conducted some of the most important American, European and Asian orchestras, as well as being Artistic Collaborator of the Orquesta Sinf\u00f3nica del Principado de Asturias in Spain and of the Conducting Faculty of the Manhattan School of Music in New York.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Perry So opens his first season as music director of the New Haven Symphony Orchestra on Sunday 22 September with Beethoven&#8217;s 9th Symphony.
