Previously Associate Professor/Music Director of the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music at the National University of Singapore, Wang Ya-Hui joined National Taipei University of Education (Taiwan) in 2017 and was promoted to a full tenured Professor. As Director of Orchestral Studies, Wang was responsible for creating both an undergraduate and graduate conducting major program at her university, and in recent years brought unique educational collaboration and sponsorship with I-MEI Foundation for Arts and Education, organizing several orchestral and conducting masterclasses throughout music universities in Taiwan.

Prior to throwing herself fully into pedagogue, Wang Ya-Hui actively conducted professionally across America, Europe and Asia. Her focused, intelligent musicianship, along with the maturity and quiet confidence she displays, has earned her international respect in a field traditionally dominated by men. Former conducting appointments include Assistant Conductor of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, Music Director of the Evergreen Symphony (Taiwan) and Akron Symphony Orchestra.

Wang received international recognition by taking top prizes in three prestigious international conducting competitions: the 1998 Nicolai Malko Competition in Copenhagen, Denmark; the 1996 Dimitri Mitropoulos Competition in Athens, Greece; and the 1994 Tokyo Competition in Japan. Among her other impressive achievements was her appointment, in 1995, as Apprentice Conductor of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra with then Music Director Daniel Barenboim.

Maestro Wang has appeared as guest conductor with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, Baltimore Opera for Renée Fleming Gala, Danish National Radio Symphony, Århus, Ålborg and Odense Symphony Orchestras in Denmark, Tampere Philharmonic in Finland, Evergreen and other national Symphony orchestras in Taiwan, Singapore Symphony Orchestra, Singapore Lyric Opera and the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra. Wang made her debut appearance at the Royal Danish Theater in Copenhagen under the patronage of Queen Margarathe II of Denmark and led the Royal Danish Orchestra and Ballet on a national tour of Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake in January 2000. In August of 1999, she was invited to assist and conduct her first opera, Strauss' Salome, with the Danish National Opera. She returned in 2002 to conduct twenty-two performances of Puccini's Madame Butterfly all over Denmark, working with their major orchestras.

Born in Taiwan, Wang Ya-Hui grew up in Singapore and went to the United States in 1986 to further her music education, which was fully funded by a scholarship from the Evergreen Group. She received undergraduate and graduate degrees in piano performance and conducting from the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia and the Peabody Conservatory in Baltimore, where her teachers included Otto-Werner Mueller and Frederik Prausnitz. Her UCLA-NUS EMBA degree was made possible by the National University of Singapore.
