Chiang and his ensemble Philharmonia Moments Musicaux were also featured in a special article by the London published, International Arts Manager Magazine, as one of Taiwan's most dynamic ensembles.

In September 2002, Chiang received a request to participate in the inaugural Sir Georg Solti International Conductors' Competition in Frankfurt, Germany, where some of the world's finest future conductors were present. Chiang was awarded third prize.
