St Mary's is pleased to announce the appointment of Dominic Wong as Organ Scholar 2010/11

Dominic began his musical studies at the early age of three when he started piano lessons with Professor Fuk-keung Lee. He showed promising talent two years later when he won the bronze medal at the Hong Kong Talented Young Musicians Competition. Under the tutelage of Ms Aywen Wang, he left La Salle College having received the LTCL in Year 8 to become a music scholar and subsequently an honorary academic scholar at Harrow School.

At Harrow, he continued his piano studies with Professor Colin Stone and started learning the organ with the director of music, Mr David Woodcock. He was involved in many aspects of the musical life of Harrow, winning numerous prizes both as a soloist on piano and organ and as a chamber musician who represented Harrow throughout his time there at the National Chamber Music Competition.

Dominic's solo appearances with the Harrow Sinfonia performing Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 2 and Shostakovich's Piano Concerto No.1 won great acclaim. He has also combined his solo commitments with accompaniment responsibilities, having been the rehearsal pianist for Bach's Mass in B minor, a keyboardist in the band for the production of Les Misérables and the accompanist for Harrow Songs. As an organist, he plays regularly at chapel services and as a continuo player. He has also been an organist for the Roman Catholic Church of Our Lady and St Thomas of Canterbury.

Dominic is a counter-tenor in the Chapel Choir and the Byron Consort, with which he has performed in prestigious venues St Mary's is pleased to announce the appointment of Dominic Wong as Organ Scholar 2010/11 including Westminster Cathedral and St George's Windsor and toured Stockholm.

He looks forward to starting his new post at Nottingham before taking up the Organ Scholarship to read Law at Downing College, Cambridge next year.
