If the plan to set up a foundation in Taiwan succeeds, the NAEYO will change its name to the "Sino-American Elite Orchestra." Next year the direction will be reversed, as a group of mainly Taiwan musicians will first tour Taiwan and then go to the US to join up with US members.
如果在台成立基金會的計畫能成，北美菁英交響樂團便將正式更名為「華美菁英交響樂團」，九八年將反方向而行，以台灣樂手為主體，先在台巡迴演出，再到美國和美國團員會師。
