Formosa Melody Music Center Contemporary Music Ensemble

The Contemporary Music Ensemble (當代樂坊, Dangdai yuefang) was founded in 1994 in Yilan County and is one of Taiwan's well-known performing arts groups. It has performed on mountain trails and along the seashore, in front of temples, in schools, in hospitals and in concert halls. The ensemble has also represented Taiwan abroad at gatherings with overseas Taiwanese, where it was warmly received and earned countless ovations for Taiwan. Its music can evoke the taste of home, so at its concerts taste meets hearing and sight. At the same time, its performances introduce Taiwanese customs and ways of life: the suite "Alishan Atmosphere" paints a landscape, the Hakka pieces "Love for Tung Flowers" and "Beautiful Yilan" portray the simple life of ordinary people, "Blessing for the Land" tells the story of the Earth God Tudigong and "Oriental Legend" the legend of Guan Gong, expressing people's faith. The piece "Joy Across the Sea" tells of the diligence and perseverance of the Taiwanese people. The ensemble's performances bring audiences around the world an unforgettable surprise and win wide recognition and acclaim.

Splendid Taiwan Celebrates National Day

For this year's performances in Europe and Africa, we have prepared a program based on a completely new concept of connecting the senses, combined with thematic pieces that vividly depict Taiwanese life and culture. By combining classical music with Taiwanese folk songs, we draw closer to audiences from European countries and connect with the world through art. With diligence and perseverance, the Taiwanese people have achieved many world firsts and miracles. Through music, we want to show Taiwan to the world, and on this occasion celebrate National Day together with you and wish the country and its people peace and prosperity.
