Leehom Wang’s exclusive interview on Talk Asia!

Singer-songwriter Lee-hom Wang was interviewed recently by CNN about his upcoming conductorial debut of the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra (HKPO), sina.com reported.

The American-born Chinese music talent, who has made his mark in the Chinese mando-pop music scene over the past decade, now plans to show off his abilities in classical music. He will conduct the HKPO in Hong Kong Cultural Centre from December 22 to 24.

In his interview with CNN’s “Talk Asia” program, also a third such interview in three years by CNN, the singer said that his collaboration with the HKPO is an experience he holds dear, and he will try his best despite the tension he’s feeling.

Ahead of his first-ever experience in the role, he says a conductor has to convey to the listeners his own interpretation of the music, just as a producer does for an album or a director for a movie.
