Letter From the Director
Playing together with other fine musicians is the distillation of many musical traditions of our Western and Eastern culture: religious music, spiritual music, dance music, patriotic music, and entertainment music. Keeping this tradition alive is something I think is important.




Xi'an Speech
Xian is truly incredible and it is an honor for me to receive the key to Xian. I accept it on behalf of Irvine and all the dedicated members of IYCA.
