  • Thank you! There actually is no need for three conductors. At the first performance, two of the previous conductors joined the current music director of the Springfield (MO) Symphony to celebrate the 75th anniversary, and they thought it would be neat if they could open the program while simultaneously conducting the work. Apo Hsu took the piece back to Taiwan with her, and she used it as a pedagogical tool, so that her conducting students could conduct with her on one of their big concerts.

  • Yes, a wonderful piece of music. The public does not understand the influence Apo Ching-Hsin Hsu has on young conductors. They're "conducting the music." What a wonderful idea to have them share this performance. I see the influence of this great teacher upon them. I' want to guest conduct Sibelius Sym 2 in the future. I invite you to open Google: William Savola and contact: wisavola (at) hotmail. I'll overnight in Taipei in 1st week of Feb enroute to Indonesia.

  • Very, very nice. I love the piece. I'm curious as to the need for three conductors.

  • I have a 10,000% genius for a professor.

  • Bravo!

  • What a fantastic performance! Congratulations!
