| Chinese, U.S. musicians impress New Yorkers with 'China Story' (Xinhua) |
Ye, 58, received a master's degree from the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York in the early 1990s, and has since established himself as one of the leading composers in China, currently serving as vice president of the prestigious Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing.
"It feels great to see the American audience enjoy my music," said Ye. "Symphony is like a universal language in the cultural world, and I have always hoped to spread the mainstream culture of modern China in this unique language."
"I also believe that modern Chinese musicians should and can do a better job in telling the 'China Story' with and integrating 'Chinese elements' into the Western music," said the 2012 Guggenheim Award winner.
