Tang Chung Ho (Alfred)
A keen strings player since young age, Alfred Tang completed his undergraduate studies at the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts in 2009, and was awarded the Baring Private Equity Asia Scholarship for his Masters of Music programme under the tutelage of Letty Poon. At the APA, Tang was coached by Leung Kin Fung on string quartet and Benedict Cruft, Dean of Music, on baroque style playing. He represented the Academy Orchestra in a joint concert with the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra, and had worked with renowned conductors including Esa-Pekka Salonen, Edo de Waart, Perry So and François-Xavier Roth in different occasions.
Tang was invited to perform with the Hong Kong International Cello Association in Italy in 2008, apart from concert tours to other major cities in the world, Tang is more enthusiastic in performing in Hong Kong. In 2012, he performed Bach Cello Suite in the communion of St John’s Cathedral. In 2013, he gave a solo recital as well as “String Together” string trio concert. He performed in the “As Times Goes By” piano trio concert in 2015.
Tang advocates the art of cello music. In 2013, he organised pupils for the “Cello-on-Stage” Project Performance. He coached a cello ensemble and led the performance in the Gala Concert in 2016. Later in the same year, he led the cello ensemble to deliver a full concert “Out of Solitude”, followed by a 100 Cellists’ outdoor performance in the Central and Western District Festival.
In 2017, Tang led the Locomotive Cello Ensemble to play “Cello Storytelling” for the Kowloon City Book Fair. In late 2018, Locomotive Cello Ensemble presented its debut “Concert Locomotion” under Tang’s leadership, and came back with its second concert “Song of the Birds” in early 2020.
Tang enjoys teaching cello from kindergarten children to senior citizens. He strongly believes that everyone can find their niche in learning music and enrich their lives according to personal strengths and aptitudes. In recent years, Tang is devoted in cello ensemble playing with members of varying ages, characteristics and proficiency levels, as a collective pursuit for the ultimate beauty of the sound of cello.
