The Hawaii Youth Symphony in Honolulu has announced two promotions: RANDY WONG has been promoted from executive director to president, and CAROL TSANG, formerly finance manager, is now director of finance.

Randy Wong has served as Hawaii Youth Symphony’s executive director since 2012, during which time the organization was nominated for several local arts awards, performed on National Public Radio’s “From the Top” program, collaborated with the Hawai’i Symphony Orchestra, and participated in a residency with violinist Midori. Wong is a board member of the League of American Orchestras’ Youth Orchestra Division and is an alumnus of the League’s Emerging Leaders Program. Prior to the Hawaii Youth Symphony, Wong directed professional development, grants, and community partnerships for the Music-in-Education National Consortium in Boston.

Carol Tsang is a certified public accountant in the State of Hawaii and was an external auditor with Deloitte and Touche prior to joining the youth orchestra. She received her master’s in accounting from Vanderbilt University Owen Graduate School of Management and a B.A. in economics from Cornell University, where she was a member of the Cornell Symphony Orchestra as a violinist.
