From the record

  • 2016-01-31 — Chen is the subject of record 787 in the TAH encyclopedia series (“787. Youming Chen 陳猶明/ 2016/01”), a value-band-B record published by taiwaneseamericanhistory.org in 01/2016. The vault holds this as a bibliographic record of the encyclopedia entry; the full text stays in the source archive. No first-person quote is carried in the vault record. source

  • [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/326-youming-chen-e9-99-b3-e7-8c-b6-e6-98-8e-violist-201601||TAH #326 encyclopedia page]] exists in the vault as a bibliographic record (2016-01-31); #787 likewise. Neither carries additional narrative beyond the profile text above.
  • Reciprocal cross-link: |Shih-Yin Chen’s vault page already lists Chen as a “fellow TAH-listed Taiwan-born classical musician with New York training”; this page reciprocates that link.
  • He also appears in the TAH source-hub index at |taiwaneseamericanhistory.org.

  • Reciprocity now confirmed in both directions: |Hsin-Yun Huang’s page explicitly lists Chen among her documented students (“earned his Juilliard master’s degree with her”); see the Vault Network section on her page.
  • Institutional context for his Rutgers DMA period: the vault holds |Rutgers Taiwan Study Association as a community page at that institution (context only — no membership recorded for Chen).
