Their performances have attracted audiences from all over the world, including children and adults alike. People are always amazed by what they see and hear.

The idea for the Vegetable Orchestra came about in February 1998. All the members come from musical backgrounds like electronic music, rock and classical music. The band keeps finding new sounds and developing new instruments. Among them, there is the carrot recorder, a cucumber phone, and even a leek (韭葱) violin. The performers buy all of the vegetables fresh on the day of their performance, and the listeners can see in real time how the sounds of the instruments change as they break and dry out under the stage lights.

Through their creative performances, the Vegetable Orchestra wants to tell people about the nature of music and creativity. They show that music can come from the most unexpected things—even everyday vegetables from the supermarket.
