Arts Culture & Entertainment March 7, 2016 Norman Huynh to join Oregon Symphony as associate conductor The Oregon Symphony has announced the selection of Norman Huynh as its new Harold and Arlene Schnitzer associate conductor. Huynh, who plans to make the move from one Portland to another, is currently the assistant conductor of the Portland Symphony Orchestra in Portland, Maine, a position he has held for the past three seasons. Huynh made his international conducting debut with the Princess Galyani Vadhana Youth Orchestra in Bangkok and has since conducted symphonies in Baltimore, Toledo, Charlotte, Virginia, and Macon, in addition to the Peabody Symphony Orchestra. Selected from a group of more than 50 applicants from around the world, Huynh impressed Oregon Symphony music director Carlos Kalmar with his musicality and ability to communicate. “Norman is a young conductor with great musical potential,” Kalmar said. “He is versatile, clear in his ideas, and very charismatic. I am happy that he will join our Oregon Symphony family.” When Huynh joins the symphony on August 1 of this year, he will assume the duties of associate conductor, which include working closely with the music director, conducting school, kids, and special concerts, being prepared to substitute for any conductor at a moment’s notice, and participating in the day-to-day affairs of the symphony, including education and community engage- ment programs. Upon learning of his selection, Huynh said he was “honored to be chosen” and was “greatly looking forward to working with maestro Kalmar, as well as the phenomenal musicians and staff. Sharing my passion for music with people of all ages throughout Portland and the great state of Oregon is a privilege and one that I thank the Oregon Symphony for giving to me.” Huynh earned his master’s degree in orchestral conducting at the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University, where he studied with Marin Alsop, Gustav THE ASIAN REPORTER n Page 11 SPiLt ink Gallery Acrylic Colour Pencil Graphite Oil Pen & Ink Watercolour Pets w Holidays w Special Occasions w Just for Fun www.spiltinkgallery.com (503) 442-6427 THE URBAN LEAGUE OF PORTLAND’S CAREER CONNECTIONS JOB FAIR Tues day, April 5, 2016 10:00am to 3:00pm Double Tree Hotel, near Lloyd Center 1000 N.E.

In 1954, at 10 years old, he and his family immigrated to America and settled in Portland. He attended Cleveland High School and later earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Washington and a master’s degree from Portland State University, both with a focus on education. After teaching history for five years at Grant High School, he joined Azumano Travel in 1976 and later became its president and CEO in 1987. He married his wife, Loen, in 1968. They have five children: Elisa, Kristen, Alison, Stephanie, and Tadashi.

He has served as a board member, president, vice president, chairman, commissioner, and other positions for a number of organizations since the mid-1970s. He inspired thousands to participate in “Flight for Freedom” and “Flight of Friendship” events by organizing citizens to show support for communities in the wake of tragedies such as September 11, the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake tsunami, and Hurricane Katrina. In response to the March 11, 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan, he helped raise more than $600,000 in disaster relief. Sho has received numerous awards for community service and has been recognized internationally for his civic work and devotion.
