​A soul who is not satisfied with the status quo, let him take a path different from traditional musicians, and play pages of his own music without restraint! Without the framework and baggage, the world becomes bigger and bigger, and any place in the world may be his next stage.

 

He chose to take a different path, let the erhu catch up with electronic music, pop, classical, jazz, world music, modern dance, etc., and successfully introduced the erhu to various audiences all over the world, because for him, music is music, There is no boundary, like different cuisines, you don't have to eat the same kind of food all your life, there are still a variety of creative cuisines to choose from.

 

For Luo Changqin, the happiest thing is to travel around the world with the erhu, whether it is the stage of a formal concert hall, the big stage of an outdoor music festival with tens of thousands of people, a certain nightclub, or a certain street performance stage , who likes to try, he is willing to stand on the stage and use his wonderful and unique performances to let the world hear the good sound of cross-border erhu from Taiwan.
