Hello, I am Weichen. Currently, I am teaching as a assistant professor in percussion at National Chiayi University in Chiayi, Taiwan. Prior to this position, I was teaching at Yulin Normal University in China from 2019-2020 and served as a percussionist at Shanghai Symphony Orchestra from 2016 to 2019. As a soloist, I give classes and lessons in different countries. For expanding marimba repertoire, I have been arranging and transcribing music for marimba. The scores are published by Edition Svitzer. In 2014, I commissioned Chinese composer Yao Chen a marimba solo work "Asura" and premiered the piece at the Boston University. In 2017, I commissioned Julie Spencer and Gernot Blume an amazing work "Zalan-Zalan" Concerto for Percussion and Orchestra, and premiered the concerto in Taipei, Taiwan.I also have performed with Nanae Mimura, Timothy Genis, Dr. Lynn Vartan, Setsuko Kutzuno, and Chris Whyte. As a concerto soloist, I performed with Houston Symphony, The Concord Band, Hong Kong You Symphonic Band, and Taipei Philharmonic Youth Symphony Orchestra. As an ensemble player, Dr. Lynn Vartan and I hold a percussion duet called Duo Lin-Lynn. We have been invited to perform together in festivals in different countries. As an orchestral player, I currently freelance with different orchestras around the region, such as Sichuan Symphony Orchestra and Macao Orchestra.
