Maestro Ken Lam on quitting law for music, winning a conducting job, and the challenges for orchestras in the coming years
I am so fortunate to call Maestro Ken Lam a mentor and teacher of mine, where I played under him at the Brevard Music Center for two summers. Maestro Lam is currently the Music Director of the Charleston Symphony, the Illinois Symphony Orchestra, Resident Conductor of the Brevard Music Center in North Carolina, and Artistic Director of Hong Kong Voices. Lam has conducted all over the U.S. and Asia, leading performances with the symphony orchestras of Cincinnati, Baltimore, Detroit, Buffalo, Hawaii, Memphis, Hong Kong Philharmonic, and the Taipei Symphony Orchestra. Previous positions have included posts as Associate Conductor for Education of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, Assistant Conductor of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and Principal Conductor of the Hong Kong Chamber Orchestra. Maestro Lam studied at the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore, and was the recipient of the 2015 Johns Hopkins University Global Achievement Award.
