Comments: Just visited your ayo website. Must say that i'm grateful for the effort you've put into preserving the wonderful memories we shared during that unforgettable summer.It was an enchanting 6 weeks of music making and friendship fostering. Viewing the photos brought back floods of fond memories that will forever be etched in my mind...and the last of them brought tears to my eyes as i remembered our final piece in our last concert. O how everyone teared that night. I wish everyone a splendid life and may our paths cross again.

Comments: THank you for storing all these wonderful memories. Everytime I hear Nimrod, tears well in my eyes. Somehow, I always feel that the Nimrod that I hear is not as good as the time we played it in our last concerts. Your webpage has also given me an opporunity to catch up with lost friends, and if anyone there who knows me during the 1991 and 1993 tours (if it will help you remember, I was one of the poster girl with Hanlin from Singapore), do send me an email and say hi. THe world is getting smaller, but words seem fewer nowadays. To all my friends out there, take care till we meet again!

Dear Yih Chyn, 1992... You sure made me want turn back time and relive the summer of 1992. Everytime I hear or play the Pathetique I want to cry,or Mahler's 4th.

Congratulations!! What a wonderful story teller!! and thank you very much for sharing "OUR" wonderful memories! I never forget AYO and I can say this is the greatest Youth Orchestra for every young musician! The greatest of AYO is "Friendship" I never forget when we played the "Nimrod" from Enigma Variation, we were crying,,and there was no sound from wind/brass section!! I felt I was back in 1992 while visiting your HP. Thank you very much for doing this HP. Sincerely, Nophachai.

This is a great AYO website. Eventhough I wasn't there in 1992, it brought back all the memories of AYO. It is truly like a big family bonded by music. I have learnt so much from everyone, especially the coaches, who were like our parents. Thanks for your wonderful work and your AYO experience!

Well done, I got this address from Lin Yun Yang (Taiwan). It's really touching. Sad to have no more regular contact among the AYO member. I suggest to form a kind of AYO club/Alumni Association as a mean for continuing the friendship. Once every year/2 ye rs gethering in a specified country (different every year) would be a meaningful event to be held, given our membership is growing every year. This is a preliminary idea, you might need the charter from Richard Pontzious. I might be of help form the HK si e. Plesae let me know your comment. Thanks again for your great job! Joaquin Tam

Dear Friends, I have not seen many of you for 7 years. All of you are constantly on my mind and in my dreams.... and the touching "Nimrod" and Pathetique Symphony - I will never forget! AYO has made me determined to devote my life to music like most of you, but I cannot at the present moment... but one day, I will study music when I have the means to do so, no matter how long it will take... I hope my homepage can bring back the wonderful memories we all shared in 1992. Please give me suggestions to improve my pages and may we meet one day..... take care and let's keep the music playing!!
