Yu-Liang

I was the Assistant Director for the newly developed opera produced by the National Symphony Orchestra, called “La Peintre, Yu-Lin”.

“Pan Yu-Liang (1985-1977) was a legendary Chinese painter. At a young age, she was sold to a brothel and then became a wealthy official’s concubine. Her paintings of nude models violated cultural norms in the feudal society and generated much controversy in Shanghai in the early Republic years. She was forced to move to Paris to pursue her passion and successfully established herself as a “warrior of beauty.”"

I worked as a research project manager for the National Symphony Orchestra (NSO) in Taipei, Taiwan.  I am focusing on my research on 6 successful music festivals and educational programs that are produced and/or associated with symphony orchestras around the globe.  The first 3 chapters are in-depth research on the Boston Symphony Orchestra and its Tanglewood, the Saito Kinen Orchestra and its Saito Kinen Festival and the John F. Kennedy Center and its National Symphony Orchestra. The last chapter includes 3 other types of classical music festivals / music academy which are Salzburg Easter Festival, Berlin Philharmonic’s Orchestra Academy and BBC Proms.  While the completely report will be kept internally as some of the organizations have requested the information to be kept private, I will make a summary of the report with the consent of each organization, which will be available on the NSO website.  (May- December 2009)

I am honored to be an invited speaker for the music department at the Taipei National University of the Arts this semester.  I will introduce the concept of performing arts and theater to students, and encourage them to think not solely as musicians only, but more as performing artists and more in a global way.
