Asia Philharmonic Orchestra
Asia Philharmonic Orchestra was founded by Maestro Myung-Whun Chung with musicians of Asian descent to affirm that the diversity of culture and ethnic background can produce not only beautiful music but also deeper harmony and mutual understanding than through any other media.

Asia Philharmonic Orchestra is not a permanent establishment but rather one that is centered more on concerts as a festival orchestra. Making a successful debut in 1997, the orchestra immediately proved to belong to the rank of the best orchestra in Asia. In 1998, Korea's top traditional percussion quartet along with finest musicians held a "Salute to Korea" concert in Tokyo's International Forum Hall and Osaka's Symphony Hall. The purpose of the concert was to support Asian countries having an economic crisis while emphasizing the unity and harmony behind the foundation of Asia Philharmonic.

In an effort to highlight the historical moment of the year 2000, a millennium concert was held, consisting of one hundred musicians from Korea, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore and others along with Violinist Sarah Chang.

In 2006, remarkably talented Asian musicians active in thirty-one different orchestras reunited after 6 years and performed superbly. The year 2007 marked the orchestra's ten year anniversary and to celebrate, the orchestra performed in Seoul, Toyama and Tokyo.

It never ceases to amaze me how Asia is free and open with sharing orchestral performances on YouTube, and even with the idea of videotaping concerts, while in America, the damned orchestra unions always vote "NO" when it comes to a recording. Maybe it's time to move to Asia, where the orchestras are less foolish about promoting their talents.

What a breathtaking performance. Myung-Whun Chung, once again has shown himself of one of the uppermost conductors of our age. His interpretation of Mahler is just out of this world.
