Taiwan’s diverse and beautiful mosaic: classic memories that belong to all of us
Songs for mothers, singing of one gentle generation after another
Artistic Director and Conductor: Yun-Hung Chen
Piano: Nai-Chia Wang
Performers: Taipei Chamber Singers
Taiwan’s beautiful mosaic: classic memories that belong to all of us. Taiwan’s rich diversity of peoples is the mother of Taiwan and the most essential source of its vitality. Wherever our cultural roots may lie, a mother’s strength and love are the same. Fearlessly devoting themselves to their families and tending this land, mothers hold up an entire generation with boundless tolerance and tenderness, binding heart to heart to create a beautiful new world together.
The concert is woven together by themes including Memories of Taiwan, Colors of Hakka, Colors of Indigenous Taiwan, and Blessings from Afar, featuring not only classic Taiwanese songs but also traditional folk songs from distant lands.
Music is love without distance. On the eve of Mother’s Day, Taipei Chamber Singers will dedicate a rich and diverse program to mothers with the most heartfelt singing, celebrating one warm generation after another.
