He was recently named music director of the Waco Symphony Orchestra in Waco, Texas.

Loh joined the orchestra in 2014 as its first music director when it was known as Symphoria.

Loh previously held major conducting positions with the Pittsburgh Symphony, West Virginia Symphony Orchestra, Northeastern Pennsylvania Philharmonic, Syracuse Opera, Pittsburgh Youth Symphony, Dallas Symphony, and the Colorado Symphony.

My time with The Syracuse Orchestra as its first music director will remain one of the most important and gratifying positions of my career, Loh said in the announcement. Im so fond of the musicians in the orchestra, and my family and I will always think of Central New York as a very special place. I look forward to a celebratory and bittersweet final season in 24-25!

The 2024-25 season will be a celebration of Lohs 11 years leading the Syracuse Orchestra, first as music director designate then 10 years as music director, Mary Ann Tyszko, president of the Syracuse Orchestras board of directors, said.
