Gang-a-Tsui Nanguan Music and Theater Troupe was originally founded in 1993 by Yih-Chang Chou. After his passing, Mei-Hui Wei, along with many of the original members of Gang-a-Tsui, founded the group Lâm-hun Koh to carry his legacy forward into the next generation. This U.S. tour is dedicated to the memory of Director Chou.
