Jenny Wong

Jenny Wong is catalogued here as chorus director for the San Francisco Symphony, preparing the chorus for a broad slate of choral-orchestral works across the 2026-27 season, from Handel's Messiah to Stravinsky's Firebird staging. This role involves rehearsing singers ahead of performances led by guest and staff conductors.

Jenny Wong appears in this directory as chorus director for the San Francisco Symphony Chorus across a wide range of choral repertoire. The upcoming season includes large-scale works that depend on a well-prepared chorus, such as Handel's Messiah, Haydn's The Creation, Orff's Carmina Burana, Stravinsky's Symphony of Psalms, and Bernstein's Chichester Psalms. Her work also extends into orchestral programs with prominent choral movements, including Bloch's Avodath Hakodesh and Adams' Doctor Atomic Symphony. A chorus director's job happens mostly before the performance, teaching the singers their parts and shaping diction, blend, and dynamics, so that when the conductor arrives for final rehearsals, the chorus responds as one voice. Listeners attending these concerts can expect a chorus that is rhythmically precise and textually clear, whether singing in Latin, German, Hebrew, or English.
