The career of Chinese sheng player Wu Wei is notable for his openness to collaboration with Western composers and performers. In 1998, he released an album, Sheng Organ for the Mouth, following that up in 2000 with Mouth Organ: Trad Chinese/Sheng. By the late 2000s decade, Wu Wei was attracting Western composers eager to write concertos for his instrument. One of the first of these was Huang Ruo's The Color of Yellow (2007). Wu Wei recorded three concertos by Unsuk Chin with the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra under Myung-Whun Chung in 2014. With actress Karine Viard, he released the children's album Le sheng amoureux in 2015. In 2024, Wu Wei recorded composer Rolf Wallin's sheng concerto Five Seasons with the Stavanger Symphony Orchestra.
