“This is the first time that a Belgian orchestra is invited to this event which usually has a predilection for the Vienna Philharmonic or the Scala of Milan, in a splendid concert hall in the very heart of the highly symbolic Forbidden City. Augustin Dumay wanted a real meeting between two cultures: the musicians are mixed, the gestures synchronous as if they had always rehearsed together.” 

LE SOIR, Frédéric Soumois, 24 October 2006 – Beijing Festival
