Under the baton of its resident conductor, Mr Mike Chiang, NYPCO aspires to achieve even greater heights of excellence each year. Known for his bold artistic vision and fresh dynamic interpretations of classical Chinese music, Mr Chiang collaborated and struck notes with NYPCO members to introduce western music, Chinese pop, evergreen songs and even Japanese and Korean pop pieces into their repertoire.

NOTICE
There are some issues that i need to bring forth attention to all of you. As we know, exams and debarring period is here, i understand that there are quite a number of you have gotten warning letters despite submitting all your excuse letters up.
I urge everyone to contact your PEM(personal mentor) who should be able to assist you. By right, the AIMF trip and other mayflower perfomance, and auditiorium performance should not affect your attendance because they are all valid reasons. Therefore, please double check clearly to ensure that none of you are in the debarment list.
If there are anymore of you who needs the approval letter that indicate you have been approved of going for AIMF, please msn me or call me. I will forward them in to your mails.
Thanks!
