The Documentary Film of the Taipei Chinese Orchestra 2012 European Tour with Evelyn Glennie, 30 mins


​When I was the General Director of the Taipei Chinese Orchestra between 2007 and 2015, the orchestra served as a cultural bridge connecting between the East and the West. The cultural interaction reached its peak in 2012 when the orchestra toured Europe and gave 3 well-received concerts at Manchester Bridgewater Hall, Hannover Herrenhäuser Gärten, and Paris le Théâtre du Châtelet  with renowned percussionist Evelyn Glennie.
