Mr. Chan Ling Chee

Founder, Music Director & Vice-Chairman

Mr Chan Ling Chee is both a musician of calibre, and also a conductor with vision. With more than 20 years of experience in the art of teaching music, specialising in piano and cello, he is proud to have trained many musicians and still continues to bring fresh talents into the world of music.

Besides teaching, Mr Chan has rich experience in performing with numerous professional orchestras, both locally and internationally. As a cellist, his resume includes having performed with the Petaling Jaya Philharmonic Orchestra, the Penang Symphony Orchestra, the Penang Philharmonic Orchestra, the National Symphony Orchestra, the Pahang Symphony Orchestra, the Orchestra of Music Makers (Singapore) and the Clap & Tap Chamber Orchestra (Los Angeles, USA). Highlights under his belt include the 8th Kumamoto Music Festival (Japan), the Commemoration of the 30th Year of Malaysia-China Diplomacy Ties (China) in 2004, and the International Summer Music Festival (USA) in 2009.

As a conductor, Mr. Chan is intensely serious and yet able to humorously draw the best out of the musicians under his baton.  Mr. Chan strongly believes that classical music is relevant to this day and age, and the Selangor Philharmonic Orchestra aims to share his vision with the community at large.
