Mei-Ann Chen’s Debut Season

Fate. It’s what inspired Beethoven’s signature Symphony No. 5. Perhaps it’s what inspired Mei-Ann Chen to dream about becoming a conductor as a young girl in Taiwan. And maybe it was fate that brought Mei-Ann and the Sinfonietta together for the first time in the Fall of 2009.
