Vault re-check (deepen 2026-09-14, vault-only)

  • All three cited encyclopedia records (#509, #348, #249) verified present in the vault corpus; the page body already absorbs every fact they carry (TNUAS 2003, Juilliard 2006, Royal Academy exchange 2004–05, Pocket Opera 2009, Carnegie consultancy 2011, HKAPA / Metropolitan 2012, Vital Opera board). No vault organization pages exist yet for TNUAS, Juilliard, the Royal Academy of Music, HKAPA, Pocket Opera or Vital Opera, so those stay unlinked plain text; the name-spelling HOLD (#249 徐維恩 vs 348 徐惟恩) stands.

Name note

The earlier TAH entry [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/249-wei-en-hsu-e5-be-90-e7-b6-ad-e6-81-a9pianonist-201507||TAH #249 (2015/07)]] renders his name 徐維恩, versus 徐惟恩 in 348 and on this page. Treat the spelling as unresolved (HOLD).

Deepen-x 2026-09-14 (slice 09141300-9, corpus grep)

SKIP-with-reason: corpus grep for 徐惟恩/徐維恩/Wei-En Hsu over works+articles returns only the three encyclopedia records already linked and fully absorbed (#509, #348, #249) plus the works index. No mention in the Our Journeys memoirs or other community material, and no new facts to absorb (口袋歌劇團/Pocket Opera and 大都會國際音樂節 have zero corpus hits). Name-spelling HOLD (#249 徐維恩 vs 348 徐惟恩) stands.
