“International Masters Series: Benjamin Goodson and the Taipei Chamber Singers” Concludes

With the music still ringing in our ears, a journey through five centuries of English choral music came to a close amid warm applause.

Thank you to guest conductor Benjamin Goodson, whose clear and commanding conducting style and seamless collaboration with the Taipei Chamber Singers delivered a listening experience that was lucid, elegant and exhilarating.

What our audience told us:

“The way the upper voices soared in Valiant for Truth pierced straight to the depths of the soul, and the warrior’s own testimony was especially stirring. What a feast.”

“Beyond the Night Sky sounded like a voice from the soul itself. If the women’s voices in Valiant for Truth were a river under the moonlight, this piece was the sound of heaven and earth.”

“Faire Is the Heaven was the best of all the versions I’ve heard!”

Thank you to composer 林佳瑩 for a wonderful new work; we were honored to give the premiere of “The Enigma Within” (內在之謎). Thank you to the musicians of the D.S. Chamber Ensemble for their superb, professional playing; and above all, thank you to every singer of the Taipei Chamber Singers and to all our colleagues who worked so hard front of house and backstage.
