For the competitions abroad, Yin Jiongjie performs as Yin Jong-Jie, which he believes is easier for non-Chinese to pronounce.

In November, he participated in the Grzegorz Fitelberg International Competition for Conductors, one of the most prestigious competitions in Poland. During the first round, his performance was interrupted by a sudden power failure. He left the stage and waited for 10 minutes until the power returned. "I was neither worried nor nervous because it just happened and I could do nothing about it," he says. Yin returned to finish his performance of Beethoven's Symphony No 3 Eroica. The result was also surprisingly good and unexpected to Yin. He won first prize, the Gold Baton, and toured Poland with a performance that featured Dvorak's Symphony No 9 From the New World.

As one of the most exciting young Chinese conductors on the scene, Yin has been appointed assistant conductor of the China National Symphony Orchestra and is touring with veteran pianist Yin Chengzong and the Xiamen Philharmonic Orchestra. At the same time, he is also pursuing his master's degree at the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing.

He attributes his ability to deal with emergencies to his parents, who taught him to take things easy and enjoy music, rather than placing high expectations on competitions.
