Overview
The songs that define our heritage and struggles tell stories rooted in the people and the community. More than politics, more than history, music is an experience of culture and identity that continues to echo across oceans. What is the sound of independence? Some of the familiar music Taiwanese people thought was their own turned out to have originated from Indonesia; many Malaysian Chinese artists have started their careers in Taiwan. Let’s listen together as we kick off our dialogue with Indonesia and discover Malaysia.
The TAIWANfest Orchestra performance is supported by the MPTF and TMA149.
