During my intense work with Chinese language, culture and history while composing the MARCO POLO opera, some very personal insights also happened. For example, the Chinese proverb: "If the roots are deep, the wind is not to be feared". In fact, even impossible things can be accomplished if everything is deeply rooted in one's own will and nature. -

ASIA - Seeking the origins of culture
Asia, a longing for the origins of cultures that has been increasingly buried in Western civilization, has been fascinating for over 20 years.
