2019 Asian Youth Orchestra Tour -- Taipei, Chiayi City, Taiwan and Seoul, South Korea


 
Asian Youth Orchestra 2019 Tour -- Taipei and Chiayi City, Taiwan

The new airport check-in pattern at Chek Lap Kok didn’t slow us down that much, but an Amber RainStorm added an hour before we could get away to Taiwan for two concerts in Taipei’s National Concert Hall.

This has been a great tour musically. The repertoire really suited to the Orchestra. Guest Conductor Joseph Bastian’s Brahms 4 is dark and probing, while Richard’s Scheherazade is rich with colours of ancient Persia and stories of a thousand and one nights.

 A three-hour bus ride south to Chiayi-City introduced our AYOers to a side of Taiwan tourists rarely seen. This is a homestay event for the Orchestra, beginning with a welcome to Chiayi Dinner and many kind words from the local city mayor. Next on the schedule our AYOers are out with their host families. How generous they are! Our return gift, a beautiful Scheherazade concert played to a full house and was streaming live on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Fo7WcRLO1m8

The tour rolls on. Next stop Seoul, Korea.


Asian Youth Orchestra 2019 Tour -- Seoul, South Korea

Always great to see the bonding that's the result of our homestay project in Chiayi. Here’s the quote that makes our day:

"Had a great time in Chiayi! Thank you home dad for the super good hospitality!”

Bus ride to Taoyuan Airport and we’re on our way to Seoul, returning to Korea for the first time in nine years thanks to a major effort by the Hong Kong Government’s Economic and Trade Office in Tokyo and a rolling out of the Red Carpet by the Sejong Concert Hall, nearly filling the 3000-seat concert Hall. Violin Coach Thanos Adamopoulos whose traveling with us on tour, called it the best hall so far on this tour. Leave it to M. Pontzious and the AYO to pull out all the stops.

Back in the Center the next day for a side-by-side rehearsal event with local young musicians. Thank you AYO for taking it all so seriously and sticking around for a pick-up rehearsal of the Brahms program with M. Bastian, all followed by a much needed free day!!!! Now off to Japan.

Successful Practices for Pilates Professionals




With your Polestar Pilates Asia qualification in hand, it is time to work on your career goals; perhaps you intend on setting up your own Pilates studio or physical therapy practice or maybe you’re looking to establish yourself at an existing business. Whatever the case, the challenges you will face in the future should not be underestimated. With a clear objective in mind, you should start to plan out the next steps towards your goal. Here are some simple healthy practices we recommend developing, good habits that will help lead you to successfully accomplishing your goals! It is by no means an exhaustive list but it gives you a good start in developing healthy habits.

Take Initiative and Develop Experience
Find a placement at an established local practice, studio or gym and learn everything you can. They will know how to help you get established as a movement professional. Ask questions, absorb all the hands-on and business knowledge you can, and focus on becoming an expert in your field.

Develop Your Network
It’s important to invest time in the people around you. You’ve heard the saying, “It's not what you know, it’s who you know”? Well in this case it’s both! You must have the needed knowledge and develop relationships with the people around you. Whether they’re your friend, teammate, colleague or mentor, take them out for a coffee to pick their brain and solicit advice. Be sure to attend CEC courses and events where you can mingle with other professionals and share ideas and experiences. Polestar Pilates Asia will often organize such events such as our highly popular retreats and conferences.

Build Your “Brand”
Your reputation is one of your most valuable career assets and your credibility, personality and style all make up your personal brand. Ask yourself; how do your clients and colleagues perceive you? Spend time thinking about what you would look for in an instructor, and use that knowledge to help promote your career goals.


Register with the Pilates Method Alliance
We highly recommend that you register yourself with the Pilates Method Alliance (PMA). It is a governing body for the Pilates industry based in the US. The Polestar Pilates Asia comprehensive course meets and exceeds the requirements for inclusion on the PMA registry of schools.

Becoming a successful Pilates teacher or business owner is a wonderful journey that requires dedication, passion, and motivation. It is an achievable goal with the right knowledge, training and by building healthy habits to help accomplish your dream! If you are looking for the right place to start your career as a Pilates Instructor, or looking for Continuing Education Classes (CEC) to update and expand your Pilates Education, then Polestar Pilates Asia is the right place for you.

Business during the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival



All of us at Primasia would like to remind our international business partners that a major Chinese Holiday is coming, the Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival. Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, which means for Western Calendars that the 2019 Mid-Autumn Festival will be held on Friday, 13 September, when the moon will be at its prime, shining brightest and at its fullest form. The festival was originally meant to honour your ancestors and deities; however, it’s also the perfect time for networking events which lead to magnificent business opportunities and relationships.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival families and communities traditionally gather together to celebrate the bountiful harvesting season-- somewhat like the American Thanksgiving Day. Families and friends take part in the many Lantern Carnivals and other events around the city. The Lantern Carnivals has an incredible variety of colourful, bright shiny lanterns, and also feature also many cultural events and performances including Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance celebrations, song and dances, Kung Fu, acrobatics, craft demonstrations and the like. If you are in town during this holiday, be sure to check them out!


Of course, you must remember that this is an official holiday period, and all governmental sectors are closed as well as most privately owned businesses. This can create loads of opportunities to participate in networking events; eating mooncakes and drinking fizzy cocktails, while discussing the next business niche. Take a moment to buy a colleague a cup of coffee or tea and wish them a happy festival. (Mooncakes taste amazing with a cup of tea!)

Our corporate service professionals can provide market-entry solutions to maximize your start-up time, reduce your time, costs and improve compliance. Contact Primasia Corporate Services today and let us guide you on running a business in Hong Kong and China.
