"I don't believe an orchestra should
exist in an ivory tower, but should find its relevance
in the life of its community. Please remember, this orchestra
belongs to the community."
- Steve Dinion, timpanist, percussionist
Hung Wu
Violin
Hung Wu began violin studies at the age of 5 in his native country of Taiwan. A mere 5 years later he appeared as soloist with the Taipei Symphony on a television broadcast. During the course of his music studies in Taiwan, he has won the first prize for the national string quartet competition. At the age of 17, he directed a chorus and a chamber string orchestra; both took the fist prize in the national competition. After completing his obligatory tour of duty in the Taiwanese military, he came to the United States in 1986 to study at the Hartt School of Music in Connecticut where he earned his Artist Diploma in violin performance. He went on to receive his Master of Music degree with honors from New England Conservatory in Boston. He has been the 2nd violin Principal of Honolulu Symphony since 1993. In his free time, he enjoys working on bows for string instruments, teaching, and Chinese cooking.
