What kind of music do you think best represents Taiwan?

The flagship production of the Taipei Philharmonic Chamber Choir (TPCC), Ilha Formosa, is inspired by the change of seasons in Taiwan. The production recruits internationally-renowned composers from Spain, Slovenia, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Hong Kong to collaborate with Taiwan’s composers in creating 12 pieces of brand-new choral music, portraying Taiwan’s rich humanity elements such as seasonal features, landscapes and sceneries, as well as cuisine cultures. In addition, also participating in the production are director CHEN Shih-hsien, visual designer HSU Yi-chun, and stage designer CHEN Chiung-chu to jointly build a brand-new visual choral theater. Through the texts of playwright HSIEH Shu-jing and affectionate narration of Taiwan’s top voice actor Francis Chia, the TPCC crosses over different perspectives from different generations and with exquisite choral production, interprets the common significance offered to us by the land. By integrating multimedia to combine motion visual effects with human voice, the concert aims to illustrate impression of Taiwan through voice of this generation.
