CultureConductor Kahchun Wong: The most beautiful music often comes from stillness

Singapore-born conductor Kahchun Wong became chief conductor of the Hallé Orchestra in September 2024 and has since led it on frequent tours across Europe, the Americas and Asia. After receiving acclaim at last year’s BBC Proms, he was invited back this year. A film crew followed him in Manchester and London during the 72 hours before the performance as he reflected on music, conducting, fatherhood and family ties.
