Strike a Chord Violist Clayton Leung builds community connections over his decade with the ESO WORDS BY MATTHEW STEPANIC PHOTOGRAPHY STEVEN HOPE
Based only on appearance, you wouldn’t expect the youthful Clayton Leung to be celebrating his 10th anniversary playing viola with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra (ESO). Also passionate about team sports, Leung once baffled his soccer team when he made a comment about how tough it is to keep up with all of these 25-year-olds. “They kept guessing my age,” he explains, “and I was like, ‘I appreciate this, but I could be your dad.’” Leung is 40, and when you listen to him discuss his passion for music, you realize there’s plenty of experience and wisdom beneath the boyish handsomeness.
