Praised by Musical America for the depth and sincerity of his musicality, Wong came to international attention as the winner of the Mahler Competition in May 2016, following in the footsteps of Gustavo Dudamel, who immediately appointed him as a conducting fellow with the Los Angeles Philharmonic for the 2016/2017 season. Following a remarkable last-minute debut with the Nuremberg Symphony Orchestra in October 2016, he was appointed as its chief conductor for the 2018/2019 season. Together with the Nuremberg Symphony Orchestra, he is embarking on an extensive tour of China in December. In the summer of 2018, he will lead Klassik Open Air, the largest European outdoor festival of classical music.
