Darrell Ang
Darrell Ang founded Philharmonia Group in 2023 to bring a conductor’s discipline to building companies: listening closely, aligning talented people around a shared vision, and shaping the whole into something greater than its parts.
Over two decades on the podium, with permanent posts in France, China, Russia, and Singapore, Darrell has also built institutions and raised the capital to sustain them. As Music Director of the Orchestre Symphonique de Bretagne, he helped secure new government and corporate funding—as well as develop its fledgling audience—to bring sustainability to the orchestra at a crucial juncture in its existence. At the Sichuan Symphony Orchestra in China (where he is now Conductor Laureate), he rebuilt the institution, forged partnerships with major Chinese corporations, and raised it from the bottom percentile to China’s top national rankings.
Fundraising sits at the heart of his social-impact work. He has created scholarship funds for young musicians in Singapore, led the Singapore International Festival of Music and its outreach into special-education schools, brought Manila’s street children into the concert hall with Childhope Philippines, and launched a concert series for endangered wildlife with advisers from Wildlife Reserves Singapore and Greenpeace.
A GRAMMY-nominated conductor and the recipient of a French knighthood of Arts & Letters, Darrell is also an entrepreneur and investor, serving on the boards of companies in IoT infrastructure and climate technology, including one he co-founded. A graduate of Yale University, he will receive a Master’s in Global Finance (HKUST-NYU Stern) and a Master’s in Asset & Wealth Management (Nanyang Technological University) next year.
