Praised by the Göttingen Tageblatt for "Sein satter, tragfähiger Ton, seine Virtuosität, seine straffe, zielstrebige Gestaltung"(his rich tone, virtuosity and taut, purposeful interpretations), Dr. Lewis Wong enjoys a tripartite career as soloist, ensemblist, and educator.
As soloist, Dr. Wong appears regularly with orchestras of different countries. Recent invitations have come internationally from the Orchester Göttinger Musikfreunde, National Philharmonic Orchestra of Moldova, and Jakarta Simfonia Orchestra, and domestically from orchestras in California, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, and Texas. He has given recitals in venues such as New York's Carnegie Recital Hall, the Scots Kirk Paris, Leipzig's Mendelssohn-Haus, Prague's Bertramka W.A. Mozart Museum, and Amsterdam's Galerie Wilhelmina.
Also, Dr. Wong takes great joy in making music with others. Presently, he is Concertmaster of the Hudson Symphony Orchestra, and leader of the Manhattan Chamber Soloists, a flexible chamber ensemble whose tours in the U.S. and abroad have lead to acclaim. Before his tenure with these ensembles, he was a violinist in the Trio d'Exuberance, a violin-clarinet-piano group that served as Artists-in-Residence at Trocaire College in Buffalo, NY and a popular musical guest to chamber music venues on the East Coast.
A dedicated pedagogue, Dr. Wong has given guest lectures/mastersclasses at institutions, including the Juilliard School, Southeastern University and the Theodor-Heuss Lyceum. His students have earned prizes in competitions and places in local orchestras. Blessed with a rich educational pedigree, Dr. Wong is committed to handing down the wisdom of his mentors, representatives to the very best of the Auer, Flesch and Galamian traditions.
Dr. Lewis Wong is currently Visiting Artist-in-Residence at the State University of New York at Stony Brook.
