The "Hometown Hakka Melodies: A World of Emotion" concert, scheduled for 14:30 on January 27th at the Zhongzheng Hall of the Miaoli County Government’s Bureau of International Culture and Tourism, is produced by the well-known Hometown Chamber Orchestra. The program features folk songs such as "Peach Blossoms Bloom," "Tea-Picking Song," and "Four Seasons of Red." Free tickets are now available to the public, with applications accepted at the first-floor service desk of the Miaoli County Government’s Bureau of International Culture and Tourism. Each person may request up to two tickets.

This performance of "Hometown Hakka Melodies: A World of Emotion" centers around Hakka folk songs and works by the Hakka master Deng Yu-xian. It includes the nationally unique flute concerto of the Hakka folk song "Peach Blossoms Bloom," as well as string quartets such as "Tea-Picking Song," "Four Seasons of Red," "Moonlit Sorrow," "Greeting the Spring Wind," "Rainy Night Flowers," and "Spring Night Reverie." In addition, there are international classics such as the "William Tell Overture" and "The Toreador Song," along with many famous Taiwanese and Japanese pieces. The vast majority of the repertoire has been composed by the orchestra’s leader, Dr. Lin Chao-hua, who is also a physician and composer. The music is exquisitely beautiful and has enjoyed enduring popularity not only at Taipei’s National Concert Hall but has also gained international acclaim.

 

The Hometown Chamber Orchestra was established in 2001 and was honored as an Outstanding Supported Ensemble by the former Executive Yuan's Council for Cultural Affairs in 2006. To date, it has performed 176 concerts both domestically and internationally, including 23 at the National Concert Hall, 20 in Japan, and 1 in the United States. The orchestra has left its performing footprint in nearly every county and city along Taiwan’s western coast.
