Singaporean Wong Kah Chun was offered a place in Cambridge but decided to study music composition instead, to pursue his childhood dream of being a musician. He went on to become the first Asian to win the prestigious international Gustav Mahler Conducting Competition for young conductors.

Now one of Singapore's most prolific conductors, the 33-year-old is currently leading as the Chief Conductor of the Nuremberg Symphony Orchestra in Germany.
