Thank you to the @jimfflove Jecheon International Music & Film Festival and director Hur Jin-ho for presenting me the Jecheon Asia Film Music Honorary Award. I am honored that my name will be listed among the previous film music master award recipients.

Congratulations to Chinese figure skating star JIN Boyang on such a moving interpretation of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon and the martial arts spirits!!#winterolympics2018 #pyeongchang2018 #tandun

I just arrived at the @kencen to celebrate Chinese New Year’s Eve with the Shenzhen Symphony Orchestra! How are you spending your last few hours in the Year of the Rooster? #ChineseNewYear #TanDunonTour #yearofthedog #newstart

I got lost today and stumbled upon one of the cleverest remarks I have ever encountered . In today's world, it is hard to truly be lost. But, I believe, one could say that to become wise, one must get a little lost sometimes. #tandun #twylatharp #streetart #lostinnewyork

Today I’m reading Chen Yifei’s Early Years, deeply touching with exquisite content - from Chen’s physiology study notes from primary school, to manuscripts documenting his creative process - this book is a spiritual map of an extraordinary artist. #tandun #reading #chenyifei

Looking forward to celebrating the 2018 Lunar New Year with the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts! We will be celebrating the year of the Dog with two U.S. premieres, paired with two Stravinskys for a fiery celebration night! #tandun #chinesenewyear @kencen

I’ve only read about barefoot snow removal in Buddhist poems. This morning, I realized the snow in my backyard needed sweeping and I decided to try it barefoot. I immediately experienced a warming of my heart, my feet became hot, and my spirits uplifted. #zen #morning

One of my favorite flavors from my childhood, growing up in Hunan, is the glazed Chinese donuts. The "tang you baba" were so delicious that the syrup would dripped down my arms. This time, I took some precautions 😎#tandun #childhoodmemories #sweettooth

It would have been cool if Chinese men had kept their long queues. I recently heard about a fashion designer who’s brought that trend back from Qing Dynasty. I am on the road with this “queue coat”, it’s so cool! #tandun #tandunontour #musicianlife #mensfashion

Thank you @BarbicanCentre for such an amazing evening with the @londonsymphony ... The romance of the Martial Arts spirit was lingering in my heart for days after! (Photo: Yueyue Bai)

I was rehearsing alone with the London Symphony Orchestra yesterday, and discussed with them the romance of the martial arts spirit - they are without a doubt one of the best orchestras! The three swordsmen are finally here today, time for something real! #tandunontour

Tan Dun is taking stage at the @BarbicanCentre in London to premiere his Martial Arts Trilogy with renown China Trio featuring violinist Siqing LU, Li-Wei Qin, and Yingdi Sun. You can get a ticket from Barbican's website at: barbican.org.uk/whats-on/2017/…

Lost in Hannover, I accidentally wandered into my favorite artists Paul Klee and Kandinsky on exhibition. #seethemusic #TanDunonTour
