Biography

Conductor Chaowen Ting’s work is driven by the passion for demystifying classical music for the general public. In the past years, she is dedicated to creating innovative concert experiences that are relevant to the community, such as the Opera for Everyone concert series and the music—mathematics—dance performance of The Seven Bridges of Königsberg.

Equally at home in the symphonic realm and opera houses, Ting was conducting fellow of The Dallas Opera’s Hart Institute for Women Conductors and conducting fellow of the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra. She has conducted through the U.S. and Europe, including the BBC Concert Orchestra, the Lucerne Festival Strings (Switzerland), Stavanger Symphony Orchestra (Norway), the Dallas Opera Orchestra, the Philadelphia Opera, and the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra.

Ting currently serves as Music Director of NANOWorks Opera and Principal Guest Conductor of Ensemble VIM, a contemporary music collective with a focus on diversity within the arts.
