About TSO

Taylor’s Symphony Orchestra

Taylor’s Symphony Orchestra (TSO) started off as the Taylor’s Symphonic Band (TSB) in 2008 founded by Mr. Sunny along with a group of his close friends who are also passionate in music. Taylor’s Symphony Orchestra aims to spread music and orchestra ethos in Taylor’s by providing a platform for young musicians to share their musical experience and further enhance their musical skills, forming an ever expanding musical community within campus. Over 15 years of establishment, our orchestra has been growing bigger and more mature than ever with more alumni. Our orchestra has also been organising annual concerts, performing in various events and activities, as well as collaborating with internal and external partners too. We are a group of passionate musicians who strive to create music and everlasting bondings and memories together!

Mr. Sunny’s illustrious career and passion for music began when he was recruited as a French horn player for the well-known Sam Tet Brass Band back in his hometown, Ipoh. He then became the founder and principal conductor of Taylor’s Symphony Orchestra (TSO) and Triplet Orchestra Association. To date, he has 22 years of experience in the music industry under his belt and 15 years as a conductor.

Mr. Sunny took it upon himself to lead TSO to where it is today. Under his leadership and guidance, TSO has grown tremendously since its inception and has since, without fail, provided a platform for passionate musicians to indulge and invest their interest in music.
