Adora Wong
Violin
Adora Wong is a violinist, music teacher, and early childhood educator. She was inspired by her years serving as a Violin and Viola Teaching Artist with Sistema New Brunswick, a social-development music program that aims to inspire children and youth to reach their full potential through learning and performing orchestral music. Adora is always looking for innovative ways to inspire learning and has published articles on accessible music and learning environments for the Canadian Journal of Autism Equity, The Plough Magazine, and the Autistic Professional Network.
As a performer, Adora currently plays in the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra, the Kamloops Symphony Orchestra, and the Prince George Symphony Orchestra. She held the position of Principal 2nd Violin in the Thunder Bay Symphony Orchestra for the 2019-2021 seasons and has played with the Manitoba Chamber Orchestra, the National Arts Centre Orchestra, the National Academy Orchestra, and the Ottawa Symphony Orchestra. She has represented Canada on tour with Orchestra of the Americas, Orchestre Francophonie, and the National Youth Orchestra.
While her primary goal in the studio is to enjoy the process of making-music, her students have won gold medals in regional and provincial competitions and completed McGill Conservatory examinations.
Adora holds a Master of Music in Violin Performance from the University of Ottawa, a Bachelor of Music in Violin Performance from McGill University, and an Early Childhood Education Diploma from the University of British Columbia.
