The Quartet visited four cities in China in December, 2013. Each time the we travel there (this was our fourth), new and interesting developments are evident in the musical scene. Our trip included a stop at Duke’s new campus at Kunshan, near Shanghai, with a concert in the new hall in the center of the city. Old friendships were revived, such as with Andrew Huang, founder of the Sun Yat-Sen Cancer Center in Taiwan; and many new friendships were made, including with the dynamic faculty at Suzhou’s new Conservatory; the energetic staff at Duke Kunshan University; the distinguished faculties at Wuhan University and Wuhan Conservatory.
