She has been a champion of new music of all kinds, and of the work of composers of Asian descent in particular: her 2012 debut album for the Naxos label, conducting the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra in music by Chinese composers, was a landmark in this field. As Music Director of the Hartford Symphony Orchestra since 2011, Maestro Kuan has nurtured musical excellence in core classics while at the same time boldly diversifying the repertoire. She has established the HSO as a vibrant nexus for imaginative collaborations across the arts, workin...
