The Accidental Conductor is about the story of a self-made musician. The Young Artist Award recipient of 2006 started out his music career without any formal training until he reached 30 years of age. Although he majored in Physics, his passion for music drove him to take chances with each little opportunity that came his way. He was, perhaps, the only conductor whose choirs have twice won the highest national accolade of Best Choir of the Year without him having a single piano lesson in his life.

This book tells of how he grew up in a conservative average family, took a unique path to his tertiary education, and eventually became a full-fledged musician in the choral world - although it was a slight deviation from his childhood dream of becoming an opera singer.

About the Author

Toh Ban Sheng was born in Kuala Lumpur and has become a prominent choral conductor in Singapore. Starting out essentially as a self-taught musician, the former Physics teacher completed double master degrees in music from the USA with the assistance of National Arts Council Bursary.

A recipient of the Young Artist Award, Conductor's Prizes and Repertoire Prize, he has led his choirs to garner 25 gold awards, numerous special jury prizes and standing ovations at international festivals in Europe. He currently directs choral programmes in Catholic Junior College, Dunman Secondary School, Raffles Institution (both Secondary and Junior College), St Anthony's Canossian Secondary School, and St Joseph's Institution.

Toh is married to Eunice and has a daughter Shanae.
