Double Bass Graduate, Wang Luyao
It is a first for our student, Wang Luyao, to be offered a full-time position with the Singapore Chinese Orchestra (SCO). She has previously freelanced for the SCO as well as the Singapore Symphony Orchestra. A student of Guennadi Mouzyka, she recently graduated from the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music with a Second Class Honours (Lower) in Double Bass Performance.
Luyao started learning the piano, cello and double bass from her father at a young age. She cultivated her love for double bass and enrolled in the Middle School attached to the Shanghai Conservatory of Music to study the instrument formally. In 2004, she graduated from the Middle School as the top student of her cohort. Since her second year of studies at the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory, Luyao has been appointed the Principal of Double Bass in the Conservatory Orchestra and leader in the Double Bass Quartet.
