Available to hire
Hi, I’m Kei Hong (Addison) Wong, a passionate Jazz Band, Musical, and Choral Director, as well as a composer and arranger with extensive experience in music education and performance. I have had the privilege of teaching at the university level, directing musical clubs and ensembles, and leading original musical productions. My journey in music spans jazz fusion bands, soul choral groups, and composing for jazz orchestras and film scores.
I enjoy training students and collaborating with musicians of all ages, as well as creating original pieces and arrangements. My goal is to inspire and cultivate the love of music while sharing the rich history and diverse styles of musical art. I’m looking forward to further opportunities where I can contribute my skills in music direction, composition, and performance.
