Grand Performances, a national leader in performing arts presentation based in Los Angeles, describes A Moving Sound as part of their 2007 performance calendar:
?Grand Performances' commitment to finding virtuostic artists from Asia and the Asian diaspora has struck gold with the Taipei-based A Moving Sound. The ensemble has carved out a unique niche, incorporating movement and sound to create a magical, expressive musical experience.Traditional Taiwanese, Chinese and neighboring Asian music forms are fused with modern western song compositions. Instruments such as the Chinese erhu (a vertically held, bowed instrument), the zhong ruan (Chinese guitar), an assortment of western instruments, and the transcendent vocals and dance of lead singer Mia Hsieh, transport listeners on a journey that Global Rhythm magazine describes as ?...delicately balanced between many worlds…an entryway to Eastern music and artful expression of the human condition." A Moving Sound has attracted international attention for opening doors to the under explored territory that is Pan-Asian music. The group is intensely passionate about how it presents the use of traditional instruments in its contemporary sound. Their approach is to be holistic – combining art, spirituality, social awareness, and a universal love of humanity play key roles in the creative process.A Moving Sound is very active in the Asian-Pacific region, performing concerts, appearing at festivals, offering workshops, working with communities and collaborating with artists from all over the world. For the group, performances in venues throughout Asia, North America and Europe are more than just sharing its music with audiences, it is also sharing, as the members state,
?[A] hope to be a resource and a catalyst for dynamic creative energy. A belief that creativity is a light that helps us all to reach our full potential."
