This picture was taken last year, the last time I stood in front of a wind orchestra. I permed and tinted my hair light brown-golden that day, conducted the "French Impression" composed by a great British composer, Guy Woolfenden, that night on the City Stage in Taipei. That was the last chance which I could work with the National Taiwan University Wind Band, NTUWB. Of course it was emotional after I'd introduced a series of band music of contemporary British composer, Adam Gorb, Guy Woolfenden, etc., and premier them here to the audiences in Taiwan, I really love this small two-movement piece I conducted last summer, and being happy that it had been performed three times this year at least.

The band directors in our country have to learn more about the wind history and its repertoire, or our band would not be linked with the world forever. Althought I would never know that, if I could stnad in front of another band to be a conductor, have the power to deside which repertoire to perform, or listen to a wonderful, distinguished concert in Taiwan, but I could keep myself in discerning keenness.

That's what I could hope for myself, when we are being in an almost illiterate surrounding.
