“From the freedom at an open desert to the glorious era during the Tang Dynasty … the songs about these [themes] touched me greatly.”

“I felt the music has given me a sense of peace. It allows me to think about the future with a clear mind.”

“I wasn’t able to imagine how Chinese instruments and a Western orchestra could be put together [before coming to see the performance]. … And now having come to see and hear this, I have been blown away.”

“I mean the music is otherworldly. When I really calmed myself down and listened to the music carefully, I felt like I was in a heavenly paradise.”
