Chuang
“Chuang proves himself to be a maestro who can create with his sweeping gestures such atmospheric soundscapes that one could almost touch.”

Tung-Chieh Chuang has emerged as one of the most vibrant and versatile musical voices of his generation. Admired for performances of architectural clarity and infectious momentum, he exudes an instinctive rapport across a wide repertoire and a rare gift for commanding atmosphere through exceptional nuance.
As General Music Director of the Bochum Symphony Orchestra and Artistic Director of the Anneliese Brost Musikforum Ruhr since 2021, Chuang has guided the orchestra through a period of artistic growth and consolidation, sharpening its profile and deepening its expressive range. Under his leadership, the ensemble has forged a distinctive sound and a strong sense of collective purpose, presenting programmes that traverse the symphonic repertoire, foster cultural dialogue, and champion contemporary works. His tenure has established Bochum as a distinguished musical centre, defined by curiosity, vibrancy, and a confident artistic voice.

“Tung-Chieh Chuang’s performance of Mendelssohn Scottish, with sparkling spirit, extreme dynamics, dramatic sequences, and lucidly rich colors, is difficult to be surpassed.”
