Students from ten of the world’s leading conservatories, including Yale, performed and participated in lectures, workshops, and master classes. The Yale Philharmonia made the trip, performing in Seoul and Shanghai in addition to Beijing. The Philharmonia teamed up with acclaimed cellist Jian Wang '88Cert (shown here rehearsing with conductor Shinik Hahm) to perform the Saint-Saens cello concerto.
