Combining music with theatrical arts, Wu Shih-san presents the unique music with oriental female aesthetics; Ho Hong-chi integrates Latin music with traditional drums from both the East and West to showcase a brilliant fusion; with rarely-seen six mallets, Wu Pei-ching illustrates marimba’s potential its best to achieve the perfect combination of skilled yet expressive performance; and Hwang Kuen-yean goes beyond the audiences’ imagination and creates the illusion of multiple soundtracks by the collaboration of digital technology and jazz drums.
