The Waco Symphony Orchestra (Texas) has appointed New York conductor Lawrence Loh as Music Director. Loh’s selection ends a more than year-long search for a successor to longtime music director Stephen Heyde, who retired in November 2022 after 35 years leading the symphony orchestra.
Loh currently serves as Music Conductor of the Syracuse Symphony Orchestra in Syracuse, New York, since 2015. Lawrence Loh, 35, was born in southern California of Korean parentage and raised in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.
