Book Synopsis
Why do so many Asians devote their lives to playing Western classical music?

Trade Review
"An excellent overview of the role that Asians and Asian Americans have come to play in the world of Western classical music. It is beautifully written, extremely lucid, and well researched. What is particularly enlightening here is the author's dedication in seeking out many musicians to interview and her integration of these stories into a coherent whole."
—Timothy D. Taylor, Professor of Ethnomusicology and Musicology, University of California, Los Angeles
