I am thrilled to be joining the magnificent Hawai’i Symphony Orchestra as their next Music Director.

I can’t wait to see all we’ll achieve together in imagining “what does an orchestra mean in Hawai’i in the Twenty First Century?” Mahalo nui loa 🙏

Taking up his new position in Honolulu, the Australian-Chinese maestro @danealam assures us he will be back as he embarks on his latest cross-cultural crusade.

A new opera is born. I so wish I could see it @dovecomposer ! Huge kudos to @JamesOHP and the @operahollandpk team for the vision to boldly birth what, by all accounts, is a tremendous new work that beguiles audiences and critics alike. I can’t wait to see it one day. 💙#ohpitch

Overwhelming critical reaction to ITCH @operahollandpk by @dovecomposer & Alasdair Middleton based on the novels by @simonmayo.

Had a great time chatting all things conducting with @amiconthepodium - check out the pod on Apple Podcasts, Spotify …!

[amiconthepodium @amiconthepodium]

Chatting with @danealam was a real joy. We seem to have many common views and I enjoyed his honesty and warmth. We talked candidly about his experiences conducting his orchestra in China, and I found out who had told him that he was "a very lucky boy"! @RayfieldAllied

[Dane Lam @danealam]

Catching up with a great friend today. I’ve missed you all at this most special of all opera companies. ❤️

[James Clutton @JamesOHP]

Great to see my old friend, the wonderful conductor @danealam back @operahollandpk - for a flying visit - earlier today.

A wonderful article from Hawai’i Symphony Orchestra violist Rebecca Matayoshi on the recent history, and the rise and rise of the HSO. I’m so proud to be part of this musical ohana in one of the most magical, culturally-rich places in the world.
