Liang Wang

Liang Wang (born 1980) is a Chinese classical oboist who studied at the Beijing Central Conservatory and with Richard Woodhams at the Curtis Institute of Music. Upon graduation from Curtis in 2003, he was offered a position as principal oboe of the Richmond Symphony Orchestra, but turned it down in favor of the same position with the orchestra of the San Francisco Ballet. Shortly after that, he was appointed to the second oboe chair of the San Francisco Symphony. Two weeks later he won an audition for principal oboe in the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. While in that position, he was a finalist in auditions for principal oboe in the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Cleveland Orchestra. Wang won an audition for the Grant Parks Orchestra, a summer orchestra in Chicago, but turned that down after winning an audition for principal oboe in the Santa Fe Opera. He was hired as principal oboist of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra in 2006 by Lorin Maazel. In this same week that he won this audition, he won an audition for principal oboe in the orchestra of the Metropolitan Opera, but turned down this position in favor of the Philharmonic.
