The upcoming VSO concert dedicates one of its program points to the Sinfonia Concertante by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart – a short piece showcasing the virtuosity of the violin and viola — a rarely featured instrument in 1779, the year of the Sinfonica Concertante’s publication. In today’s episode, we are zooming into the sociological and historical setup of Mozart and the viola.

I couldn’t be joined by a more qualified person to chat with, the principal viola of the VSO, Huang Wei Hung!

Born in Taipei Taiwan, Violist Hung Huang -Wei was serving as a Principal Viola in the Hong Kong, Seoul Philharmonic and Guest Principal Viola of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, London Symphony Orchestra and London Philharmonic Orchestra, as well as a guest professor at the Korean National University of Art. And in 2020, he won the position of Principal Viola of the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra.
