Muhai Tang

Muhai Tang (Simplified Chinese: 汤沐海, pinyin: Tāng Mùhǎi) (born 1949, Shanghai) is a Chinese conductor. He is the youngest son of celebrated Chinese film director Xiaodan Tang and brother of painter and poet Muli Tang.

Tang initially learnt music with his parents, and later studied composition and conducting at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, receiving his diploma in both. He furthered his studies in conducting with Hermann Michael, at the Hochschule für Musik in Munich, Germany.

His international career started when Herbert von Karajan invited him to conduct the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra during the 1983-1984 season. This invitation was later renewed. He made his US début with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra in 1988.

Tang was chief conductor of the Queensland Symphony Orchestra (QSO), and in November 2005, became conductor laureate of the Queensland Orchestra, from which the QSO was formed.

From 2003 to 2006, Tang was Chief Conductor of the Finnish National Opera.
