“I’m very happy, really. This concert is a wonderful success... They say it takes ten years of work for one minute on stage—you can tell there was a tremendous amount of heart and effort put into this concert. If you want to find true traditional Chinese culture, you need to look overseas... I think this orchestra holds an enormous capacity to revive some of the lost elements of Chinese culture.”
