"As a conductor, I've had the privilege of leading this talented ensemble through a myriad of performances that reflect our mission. Now, we are embarking on a new adventure, one that ties our two great cities together."

“This is ... a cultural exchange, a celebration of shared values. We bring with us the spirit of inclusivity, unity, and the universal language of music. We look forward to forging new connections, building bridges, and celebrating the power of music to bring people together." – Mei-Ann Chen, Music Director
