...confirmed nationalist who requires all foreign players signed to the team to learn Catalan, and who has fashioned himself as an international ambassador of sorts. He even popped up, for example, at this year's Frankfurt book fair to promise that his team "would continue to be an instrument for Catalan culture."

He played a piece that had an ethereal, eerie sound, accompanying his own cello solo by singing a vocal part. The moment emphasized the fact that Koh is not simply someone playing an instrument, but actually is the instrument himself...
