當代樂坊臺灣之聲The Formosa Melody Music Center:

2023年慶祝國慶臺灣文化友好訪演

感謝您與我們一同在費萊徹歌劇院與來自臺灣的當代樂坊慶祝雙十國慶！

Thank you for celebrating Taiwan's Double 10 National Day with us together at the Fletcher Opera Theater with the Formosa Melody Music Center!

創辦人暨藝術總監李建興老師於1994年在台灣宜蘭創立了當代樂坊。自那時起即建立國際聲譽，受邀在世界各地進行眾多場演出。2017年曾訪問過本地擔綱慶祝臺灣傳統週演出，至今餘音嬝嬝。

Founder and Art Director LI, CHIEN HSING Vincent established Formosa Melody Music Center in Yilan, Taiwan, in 1994. It has become internationally renowned since then and been invited to perform worldwide in many places. In 2017, we had them visited here to perform in celebration of the Taiwanese Heritage Week. The lingering echoes remain to this day. 

這次，600位觀眾在滿座的費萊徹歌劇院，親眼目睹了這場令人驚豔的演出，揭示了台灣這個科技先進之邦深厚的藝術根源。他們無縫地融合現代舞蹈與台灣傳統樂器演出了來自世界各地的原創樂曲。這是他們2023年北美台灣文化訪演的首場表演。當代樂坊對觀眾的熱烈回應不勝感激，特此表達最誠摯的感謝。 

This time, a full house of 600 people packed the theater and witnessed a dazzling performance that unveiled the deep artistic roots of this tech titan country. The spectacular performance showcased original scores from across the globe, seamlessly synthesizing modern dance with traditional Taiwanese instruments. The Formosa Melody Music Center is overwhelmed by your enthusiastic response to their inaugural performance of the 2023 North American Taiwanese Cultural Tour and want to express their utmost appreciations. 

北卡臺藝會要感謝我們的活動贊助個人、企業、及團體，來自本地族裔團體代表和民選公僕的特別嘉賓，姊妹市的朋友，以及我們的活動聯合籌辦單位。我們要謝謝我們辛苦的義工。最後但最重要的，我們要特別感謝優秀出色的觀眾全體，正是因為您們的支持，最後才會讓這次活動圓滿成功。
