Chia-Ying has been commissioned by the 2024 Taiwan Lantern Festival to write a new work for the illumination of the largest central Dragon Lantern in celebration of the Year of the Dragon and the 400th anniversary of Tainan as part of Taiwan’s largest annual festival with the main dragon lantern standing 22 meters tall.
The work is scored for both Western and Easterm instruments, symbolising the transcultural confluences in Taiwan’s history, dating back to 1624 during the Age of Discovery. It will be premiered on 24 February 2024 on site by 22 musicians made up of Ju Percussion, brass players from the Taiwan Philharmonic (NSO) and Taipei Symphony Orchestra as well as Harp, Erhu and Pipa.
