Taking on greater diplomatic purpose, Canada-based conductor Ken Hsieh's program on June 26th, 2015 with the state-owned Sichuan Philharmonic Orchestra had a German theme.

• Weber: Oberon Overture

• Schubert Symphony 8 Unfinished

• Beethoven Symphony 7

Ken Hsieh has a unique base crossing continents and countries with a strong following on several continents including:

• Japan - where he was trained and performs regularly;

• Vancouver Metropolitan Orchestra in Vancouver is a training orchestra started by him and born and educated in Canada;

• Taipei - where parents live; and

• Vienna - where he studied and performed.

China is far-sighted in their introduction of the congenial musician to their domestic audience.    He will be back with them in October 2015.
