Washington Post as "putting new life into duo piano playing",

Wang, pianist Ching-Yun Hu;
acclaimed cellists Felix Fan and Bion Tsang; the
Metropolitan Opera Orchestra concert master David Chan and violinist Ming-Feng Hsin.; Avalon Quartet
violist Brian Chen and percussionists She-e Wu and Cynthia Yeh.
This program will feature music by
distinguished Taiwanese composers, including the US premiere of Gordon
Chin’s “Wind, the Colliding Sound of Time” for cello and percussion and
Chung-Kun Hung’s meditative string quartet “Pensée Four”
*This concert is made possible through the
