The American-born-Chinese Charles Yang in the trio was feeling even more connected to the audience and the city. His mother, who is also a violinist, studied at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music.

"We have traveled and played at a lot of places around the world, and every culture is different. But here, being an American-born-Chinese, I just feel like it's home. The audience is so cooperative and spontaneous. We can feel them and feel the love, through the same language of music," said Yang.
