Deeply impressed by Ho Chung Yeh's talent, Chicago Symphony Orchestra Music Director Daniel Barenboim invited Yeh to conduct part of his rehearsal and personally appointed him to the CSO in 1999. During his tenure at the Chicago Symphony, he worked closely with distinguished soloists and maestros such as Barenboim, Boulez, Dutoit, Chailly, Temirkanov, Järvi, and Zukerman. A winner at the First Neeme Järvi Master Course/Conducting Competition in Estonia, Maestro Yeh shared the podium with Maestro Järvi at the final concert of the David Oistrakh Festival in 2000. One of the most exciting young conductors today, Maestro Yeh frequently guest conducts around the world, appearing with such orchestras as the Petrozavodsk Philharmonic, Kharkov Philharmonic, Sochi Chamber Orchestra, Evanston Symphony Orchestra, as well as a debut concert with the Saint Petersburg Radio Symphony Orchestra, Russia, in 2000. In December 2001, Maestro Yeh was invited by the Novosibirsk Philharmonic, one of the Top Ten European Orchestras, to conduct two performances of Handel's Messiah in the Fourth International Christmas Festival for the Arts, working with Novosibirsk Philharmonic's Kamerata, as well as soloists and choirs from Germany, England, Lithuania and Russia. The performances were heralded as the "Event of the Year". In 2003, he was the first conductor to be featured in the "Young Maestro Series" with the Taipei Chinese Orchestra. The performance was one of a few that were featured in the "Performing Arts Yearbook 2003"; Maestro Yeh was praised as the preeminent conductor of the year. After opening the Beethoven Symphony Series, on tour with the National Taiwan Symphony Orchestra in February 2004, he was immediately reengaged for the International String Music Festival and a series of concerts in August 2004, on which, by personal invitation of Maestro Yeh, three principal string players from the Chicago Symphony Orchestra were presented in Taiwan for the first time. In April 2004, Maestro Yeh successfully conducted six performances of the Musical "Damn Yankees" on very short notice.

In 2001, Maestro Yeh formed the Symphony of Oak Park and River Forest Chamber Orchestra, for which he is Music Director. After its debut concert, he was invited to conduct the orchestra at the Oak Park Centennial Gala concert to celebrate the city's 100-year anniversary. He also initiated and designed the North Shore Chamber Orchestra Summer Music Festival, which included chamber and orchestral concerts, as well as educational programs. In 1991, Maestro Yeh founded the Country Melody Orchestra, Taiwan, and has since served as its President and Music Director. Collaborating with the National Taiwan Symphony Orchestra in 2004, he helped with designing and organizing the International String Music Festival. Having served as the principal conductor of the Sochi Symphony Orchestra in Russia for two years, currently he is a Board member of the Illinois Council of Orchestras, and Music Advisory Board of the Chinese Fine Arts Society.
