Role in the Community

Kuo appears twice in the TAH encyclopedia corpus as a Taiwanese American classical-music figure, both records published 2015-11-14: 11 and 11. The parallel accounts document him both as an international cellist (Julia 1996, Yale School of Music 1999; New Haven Symphony/Orchestra; founder-president of the Connecticut School of Music) and as part of the Taiwanese American arts diaspora the society tracks. HOLD: entry 319 spells his name “Kennth Kuo” in the source title — source-side typo, not a second person.
