The Wellington Wind Symphony was thrilled to welcome Viet Cuong, our Composer-in-Residence for the season, in November 2025. Viet Cuong is an exceptional young talent in the wind band world, and his compositions have significantly enriched the repertoire. Our program will feature three of his works, and several local schools benefited from his residency. Described as "alluring" and "stirring" by The New York Times, Viet Cuong's music has been performed globally by renowned musicians and ensembles. His works have been showcased in esteemed venues such as Carnegie Hall and the Kennedy Center. We invite you to experience the excitement of his music firsthand. We look forward to seeing you there! 🗓️ June 7, 2026 ⏰ 7:30 PM 📍 Theatre Auditorium, WLU (75 University Avenue West, Waterloo) 🅿️ FREE parking on campus! 🎟️ Tickets: wellingtonwindsymphony.ca
