Randall Wong's solo work, opera, concert performances, and recitals have taken him from such far-flung places as Sydney to Juneau, AK: five continents in all. He has built a distinguished reputation specializing in both historically informed performances of Baroque and Classic period repertoire and contemporary music.
A number of operatic roles have been composed for Mr. Wong. With Houston Grand Opera he premiered Stewart Wallace's Where's Dick and Harvey Milk (reprised by New York City Opera and San Francisco Opera), and Meredith Monk's ATLAS. As a member of the Meredith Monk Ensemble he has participated in numerous theatrical and concert tours including ATLAS, The Politics of Quiet, and A Celebration Service.
He has sung in innumerable modern performances of early operas, including works by Händel, Mozart, Hasse, and J. C. Bach, in many North American and European venues including Rome, Dresden, Stuttgart, Boston, San Francisco, and Hong Kong.
As composer/designer/performer, Mr. Wong has created a number of miniature operas via grants and commissions from (among others) the San Francisco Arts Commission, Yerba Buena Center (SF), Zellerbach Foundation, American Composers Forum, Museum of Jurassic Technology (LA), Theatre Bay Area, and California Arts Council. He received his Doctor of Musical Arts degree from Stanford University. He currently serves as the Administrative Director for Young Imaginations, bringing music and dance back into the classroom.
