TS'AI-YÜN HILL WINTER CONCERT "ELEMENTS IN SOUND" II. FIRE

Tainan Tsai-Yun Choral Arts Development Association - Su Yi, conductor

Pingtung City Concert Hall - Pingtung City, Taiwan

November 7, 2026

12:00 pm

The "Elements in Sound" concert series presents its second installment, "Fire," organized by the Tainan Tsai-Yun Choral Arts Development Association. Under the baton of conductor Su Yi, with pianist Huang Chih-Chi, the Tsai-Yun Mixed Choir and the Tsai-Yun Shih-Kuang Choir perform a program exploring the theme of fire in four sections: "Sunlight," "Image," "Faith," and "Constellations." The repertoire includes works by Dominick DiOrio (Walking to the Sun), Misawa Harumi, Aidan Vass, Ola Gjeilo, and Nobunaga Tomohiro, alongside a new composition by Su Yi based on poems from Pingtung poet Kuo Han-Chen's "Zhi-Ruo Love Poems" (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius). Through choral and instrumental sounds, the concert portrays fire's dual nature—creative and destructive, warm and perilous—aiming to inspire environmental awareness and promote local choral innovation. Ideal for lovers of choral and contemporary music.
