Min-On initiated the concert series “A Musical Voyage Along the Silk Road” in 1979. With this series’ thirtieth year in production， Min-On produced the eleventh installment titled “The Path of Alexander the Great，” which sheds a light on the trail of Alexander’s expedition along the Silk Road. While in Egypt， Alexander realized that all humanity could be united as one， transcending their differences. After undertaking an expedition as far as India and Uzbekistan to realize this boundless dream， he died at the young age of thirty-two. During his lifelong journey pursuing this dream， Alexander built seventy-five cities in various lands， each named Alexandria. On twenty-four stages in twelve major cities throughout Japan from May through June in 2009， Min-On introduced distinguished artists from Greece， the origin of his expedition； Egypt， where the first utopian city of Alexandria was built； and， Uzbekistan， where another Alexandria， the furthest north in central Asia， is located. The collaboration of their music and dance performances were his dream come true.
