Founded in 2016, Suzhou Symphony Orchestra is one of the youngest and most dynamic orchestras in China. It boasts musicians from 18 countries and regions across four continents.

Chen Guangxian, who is also the director of the nonprofit China's Symphony Development Foundation and the former head of Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, built the troupe from scratch.

"People from different nationalities and backgrounds were united by music in Suzhou. We were very excited to bring them together," recalls Chen Guangxian. "We are proud to witness the orchestra's rapid and smooth growth."
