YUANG CHEN
ARTISTIC DIRECTOR, CONDUCTOR, COMPOSER
​
Having collaborated on songs with chart topping artists such as Gryffin, Carly Rae Jepsen, and Elley Duhé, Yuang Chen (artist name: Seycara) is known as one of the most eclectic up and coming artists that combines the art of classical orchestration with popular genres to create something fresh and exciting. He firmly believes that the spirit of live classical music has an irreplaceable role in the soundscape of today as well as tomorrow. Having built a YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/seycara) with over 175K subscribers for his original music as well as a Spotify with 10 million annual streams, Yuang could not be more excited to bring his experiences in the world of digital music into live performance through the founding of The Toronto Pops Orchestra. He is continually thankful for the support of all TPO musicians and their dedication to help make one singular dream into our shared reality.
​
Outside of music, Yuang works as an emergency physician and is a competitive long distance runner.
