It absolutely AMAZING to have a Chinese ensemble in a US college!!! How did you manage to get all the instruments, and how long did it take to train newbies on erhu and ruan??

Great job!!

Wow, that's Alec McLane on sheng? Good job! That's a very large ensemble for a small college. It also shows real class that you listed all the players in the end credits.

I played at one of these concerts about a million years ago! Thanks for this!
