I am thrilled to be joining the magnificent Hawai’i Symphony Orchestra as their next Music Director.
I can’t wait to see all we’ll achieve together in imagining “what does an orchestra mean in Hawai’i in the Twenty First Century?” Mahalo nui loa 🙏
Taking up his new position in Honolulu, the Australian-Chinese maestro @danealam assures us he will be back as he embarks on his latest cross-cultural crusade.

A new opera is born. I so wish I could see it @dovecomposer ! Huge kudos to @JamesOHP and the @operahollandpk team for the vision to boldly birth what, by all accounts, is a tremendous new work that beguiles audiences and critics alike. I can’t wait to see it one day. 💙#ohpitch
Overwhelming critical reaction to ITCH @operahollandpk by @dovecomposer & Alasdair Middleton based on the novels by @simonmayo.

Thanks @AusCGHonolulu for welcoming me to Hawai’i. I can’t wait to play a part in strengthening ties between Hawai’i and Australia!
I’m thrilled Aussie conductor @danealam will be Hawai‘i Symphony Orchestra’s first Music Director! Dane and I caught up in Brisbane before he flew to Hawai‘i.

He may be from the land Down Under, but Australian-born @danealam is making a new home with Hawai‘i Symphony Orchestra these days as its incoming music director. Read more in our July 12 cover story.

Had a great time chatting all things conducting with @amiconthepodium - check out the pod on Apple Podcasts, Spotify …!
Chatting with @danealam was a real joy. We seem to have many common views and I enjoyed his honesty and warmth. We talked candidly about his experiences conducting his orchestra in China, and I found out who had told him that he was "a very lucky boy"! @RayfieldAllied
Catching up with a great friend today. I’ve missed you all at this most special of all opera companies. ❤️
Great to see my old friend, the wonderful conductor @danealam back @operahollandpk - for a flying visit - earlier today.

A wonderful article from Hawai’i Symphony Orchestra violist Rebecca Matayoshi on the recent history, and the rise and rise of the HSO. I’m so proud to be part of this musical ohana in one of the most magical, culturally-rich places in the world.
