Jahja Ling’s distinguished career as an internationally renowned conductor has earned him an exceptional reputation for musical integrity, intensity and expressivity. Born in Jakarta, Indonesia and now a citizen of the United States, he is the first and only conductor of Chinese descent who holds a music director position with a major orchestra in the US and has conducted all of the major symphony orchestras in North America including Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and San Francisco.

Mr. Ling is universally praised for his work as music director of San Diego Symphony Orchestra from post-bankruptcy state into one of the top tier major orchestra during his 13-year tenure from 2004 to 2017. He has appointed more than 70 new musicians from all over the world to form this remarkable ensemble, and together they have collaborated with world’s greatest soloists. In October of 2013 Mr. Ling led the orchestra in a sold-out concert for their first appearance at Carnegie Hall, followed by their first international tour to China where they appeared in five concerts in Beijing, Shanghai and Yantai. Together they have recorded works for Telarc Records and Naxos, and eight other CDs on the Orchestra’s own label. The Orchestra has named him their first Conductor Laureate in its history.

Mr. Ling holds a special relationship with one of the world’s greatest orchestras, The Cleveland Orchestra, beginning in 1984 and continuing for 34 seasons, having conducted more than 550 concerts over 600 works. He has held the positions of Associate Conductor (1984-85), Resident Conductor (1985-2002), Blossom Festival Director (2000-05) and as regular guest conductor in every season since 2005, making him the conductor who has conducted the ensemble for the longest time in its 100-year history. He has also led the Orchestra for millions of audience members in its annual downtown concerts as well as the most number of concerts in the Blossom Festival’s history. His telecast of A Concert in Tribute and Remembrance with the Orchestra for 9/11/2011 received a local Emmy® Award. The U.S. House of Representatives presented a Congressional Record of his outstanding achievements in the U.S. Capitol in September 2006.

In 1983 Mayor/Senator Dianne Feinstein invited Jahja Ling to conduct a special concert in Davies Hall, San Francisco for a state visit of England’s Queen Elizabeth II.

The concert, attended by more than 10,000 people, was also telecast live by German and Spanish TV.
