I don't if you guys have been reading my other blogs or not...but...if you do...you guys probably noticed that I talk about the Buddha's Light Youth Chinese Orchestra (BLYCO) alot...right?
You guys are probably wondering why I am talking about it so much...
I have been part of BLYCO since it was founded! (I believe it is the year of 2001-2002)
My dad is the director and conductor!
I have made 60% of my childhood friends in BLYCO!
We are all so closely knit together that we are all almost like family...
We play traditional Chinese instruments...
Recently we have been trying to integrate western music/traditions into our music!
We've added western instruments like the violin, viola, cello, flutes...etc to our orchestra!
We've even performed with a live band!
We are still experimenting with new styles!
BLYCO is the very first Youth Chinese Orchestra established in New Jersey, USA!
The BLYCO is well known throughout the Buddha's Light International Asso. (BLIA) and various countries!
We've been invited to perform with many famous Chinese artists, bands, and groups! (Eastern Legends, Kou Chou Ching...etc.)
We also go on tours every other year! Thus far, we have toured most of Taiwan and Europe! We will soon go to Canada and many other countries!
If you guys get a chance, you guys should come listen to our live performances! I'll post up the performances and information on this blog and my other blogs! Keep your eyes open for these performances! You will definitely enjoy it!
This is a old practice picture...I would've uploaded a more up-to-date photo...but...I don't have any at my disposal...sorry...
