指挥家房飞表示，期待这场音乐会很久了，这次我邀请了一位特别指挥David Wroe，我还没有看过西方人指挥京剧，特别想挑战一下他，难度是有的，但音乐是有共同东西的，David Wroe对京剧的理解很到位，很难得。房飞是首位在美国国会大厦演出的华人指挥家，多次在纽约林肯中心、卡内基音乐厅等世界级音乐殿堂指挥演奏《红旗颂》《我的祖国》《茉莉花》等优秀中国音乐作品。他说，音乐不分国界，我们是用心来演奏、来表达每一个音符和每一个中国元素的，要让世界爱上中国音。
Conductor Fang Fei expressed that he had long anticipated this concert. “This time, I invited a special guest conductor, David Wroe. I’ve never seen a Westerner conduct Peking Opera and was particularly eager to put him to the test,” he said. “There were certainly challenges, but music shares universal elements. David Wroe demonstrated a remarkably profound understanding of Peking Opera—quite remarkable.”
Fang Fei, the first Chinese conductor to perform at the U.S. Capitol, has frequently directed acclaimed Chinese musical works such as Ode to the Red Flag, My Motherland, and Jasmine Flower at world-class venues including New York’s Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall. He emphasized, “Music transcends borders. We perform with our hearts, expressing every note and every Chinese element, aiming to let the world fall in love with the allure of Chinese music.”

“今日痛饮庆功酒， 壮志未酬誓不休， 来日方长显身手， 甘洒热血写春秋。”在纽约演出现场全体艺术家、演职员和观众以及中国文化视窗快手直播间数万观众合唱中，《2021京剧交响音乐会》圆满落幕。
美国著名指挥家David Wroe曾经是波士顿交响乐团的指挥，著名指挥家小泽征尔的助理，纽约歌剧院的常任指挥，新泽西节日交响乐团的指挥。作为一个西方指挥家，David Wroe要指挥中国京剧是不容易的，但娴熟的指法体现了他对东方文化高度认可和对中国京剧艺术的喜爱与理解，他用灵动的指挥风格，为本次京剧交响音乐会添加了特别看点和另一份光彩。
