about

Originally from Taiwan, Chung Ling Lo has built a career that seamlessly blends music, photography, and interior design—because why choose just one when you can explore them all? As a percussionist, she has had the privilege of working with renowned conductors such as Riccardo Muti, Kurt Masur, Neeme Järvi, Charles Dutoit, and Vladimir Ashkenazy. In 2009, she became the associate principal timpanist with the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, a role she cherished until relocating to Toronto in 2011. Since then, her career has taken her across North America, Europe, and Asia, performing with esteemed ensembles and hitting things (very musically, of course) in all the right places.

Chung Ling earned her Master of Music degree at Temple University in Philadelphia, studying under the highly regarded percussion section of the Philadelphia Orchestra, including Alan Abel, Don Liuzzi, Angela Nelson, and Chris Deviney. She later completed the Artist Diploma Program at the Glenn Gould School in 2013, under the mentorship of David Kent and John Rudolph from the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. She has since performed with orchestras such as the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, Canadian Opera Company, National Ballet of Canada, Esprit Orchestra, Niagara Symphony Orchestra, Symphony In C Orchestra, Artosphere Festival Orchestra, and the Taipei Philharmonic Orchestra, among others.

Beyond music, she is an accomplished photographer and interior design consultant. Since 2017, she has presented three photography exhibitions and one painting exhibition, capturing still life with a focus on simplicity and balance—because sometimes, life is chaotic enough. Her love for composition and storytelling naturally extends into interior design, where she helps clients create thoughtfully curated spaces that feel as harmonious as a perfectly tuned timpani roll.

With a unique blend of artistic, musical, and design sensibilities, Chung Ling continues to shape creative experiences across multiple disciplines—always in pursuit of the perfect rhythm, the right light, and the most inviting space.
