Composers from Asia no longer take a back seat in the world of contemporary music - they are showing the world their personalities, their great talent, and the distinctive cultures from which they draw their musical inspiration. Thanks to their success, the global interest in music from Asia has grown accordingly. I think this is great for the development of new music, and we are proud that we can be a part of this with our festival as a platform.
