On June 16th, Marc performed at the Library of
Congress in Washington D.C for the Committee of
100 in recognition of the Sichuan earthquake relief
efforts.  The following day he performed at the
Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland.  Marc left a
strong impression on both audiences, not only
through his music, but also his words.  

While in China recently, Marc had the opportunity to
visit the Shanghai Children’s Hospital, where many
of the earthquake victims had been transferred.  
That evening in D.C., during an emotionally charged
speech, he shared his impressions of this visit and
some of the stories the victims told.  Many in the
audience were moved to tears, including his
interpreter, who began crying so badly that she
could not finish translating for Marc.  

Standing center stage at the end of the show, Marc
was congratulated by every VIP present, shaking
hands and posing for photos with, among others, U.
S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice; U.S.
Secretary of the Treasury Henry Paulson and China’
s Vice-Premier, Wang Qishan.   

Again we ask you please to help the survivors of
the Sichuan earthquake by making a donation to the
Committee of 100 China Earthquake Relief Fund  or
any other honorable charities offering their support,

The next day, June 17th at the Naval Academy,
where the U.S.–China Strategic Economic Dialogue
was taking place, Marc performed and spoke in
front of the U.S. Cabinet; the Chinese Vice-Premier
and other officials about the earthquake as well as
his concerns for the environment, again leaving a
strong impression on his audience.  

July 17th, Marc appeared on National Public Radio’s
“All Things Considered”.  You can hear the
interview plus a special performance on the NPR
website for a limited time.  

Marc will be doing many interviews this summer,
some of them with Lang Lang, to promote their
upcoming appearance together this August 31st at
London’s Royal Albert Hall.  We are pleased to
report that the concert is officially now sold out!  A
special thanks to everyone who is able to attend
that evening and share in Marc's dream come true
to perform at the Proms!
