Chai Found Music Workshop 2011 Concert Tour in Canada Chai Found Music Workshop (CFMW), the 20-year old and internationally acclaimed sizhu music (Chinese chamber music) ensemble from Taiwan, is to perform in three festivals this summer invited by Ottawa Chamber Music Society, Vancouver Summer Music Festival Society and Harbourfront Centre in Toronto. The Council for Cultural Affairs in Taiwan sponsors CFMW’s concert tour as part of the centenary celebrations of The Republic of China, i.e. Taiwan, presenting Canadian audience with traditional Taiwanese and Chinese music in upcoming August. Chai Found Music Workshop will first perform in the Ottawa Chamber Music Festival, followed by the MusicFest Vancouver and the Fortune Cooking Festival at Harbourfront Center in Toronto. The music festival tour comprises three formal concerts and three music workshops. CFMW will showcase the beauty and creativity of Taiwan to audience through diverse music programs, ranging from classic Taiwanese folk songs, and traditional music to contemporary music by Taiwanese composers. The Ottawa Chamber Music Festival is the largest chamber music festival of its kind in the world. It presents almost 100 concerts and attracts over 80,000 listeners every year. The MusicFest Vancouver runs 10 days with over 40 concerts and educational events annually since 2001. The music feast brings the most talented artists in the world together, and performing with passion, skill and creativity. The Harbourfront Centre is an innovative non-profit organization that creates arts and cultural events and activities of excellence that enliven, educate and entertain a diverse public. It presents over 4,000 events and attracts 12 million visits each year. Chai Found Music Workshop is the featured program in 2011 Fortune Cooking Festival. The Chai Found Music Workshop has been active in national and international music scenes since 1991. It has gained the reputation of being one of the foremost Sizhu ensembles in the world. Over the past years, the group has been performing contemporary classical music as well as traditional Taiwanese and Chinese music in numerous concerts in Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Moreover, to attract and engage with the younger audience, CFMW creates new productions that combine choreography and drama in their music performances. Postscript: Sizhu, literally “Silk and Bamboo,” refers to string and wind musical instrument, silk being the traditional material from which strings have historically been made in China, and bamboo being the material from which the Chinese flutes such as the Di and Xiao are made. The term sizhu by extension also came to refer to instrumental music in general, especially that played indoors. Sizhu music originated in the teahouses of Southern Chinese provinces at the end of the 19th century. The musicians were sitting around a table, playing music and drinking tea. The instruments of Chai Found Music Workshop are the six most representative of this tradition: Erhu (two-string Chinese violin), Di (Chinese bamboo flutes), Guzheng (Chinese zither), Pipa (Chinese lute), Yangqin (Chinese dulcimer), Ruan (Chinese banjo or guitar).

Taiwanese youths bring traditional folk arts The Taipei Youth Folk Sports Group, which consists of 26 primary and junior high students, will delight family audiences here on July 23, 2011. The group will present the beauty of Taiwan’s traditional folk arts to Canadians, including rope-skipping, shuttlecock-kicking, harvest dancing with bamboo sticks and diabolo-spinning, will be performed by these young sports artists. The Taipei Youth Folk Sports Group was founded by the Taipei City Hall 23 years ago in an effort to preserve Taiwanese folk arts heritage. The Group has visited numerous cities around the world every year since its founding, and has earned critical acclaim. For instance, rope skipping can be performed in many different ways. Performers swing ropes to make a cross, many waves or loops. And they can jump and shuttle in and out freely with one, two or more whirls of the rope. All the movements weave a beautiful heart touching story. The harvest dance takes its form from the aboriginal tribe Ami’s celebration of the harvest. In tandem with the tapping bamboo sticks, performers dance precisely across the bamboo sticks. The diabolo spins like a dancing fairy along a string tied on two sticks in the performers’ hands. The audience can view many beautiful movements, such as whirling, swinging, tossing and catching the diabolo while performers simultaneously dance and weave. Two, even three diaboloes can be played at a time. The 26 students selected to form this year’s group have undergone four years of intensive training during their extracurricular time in school. In addition to Vancouver, they will also visit Ottawa, Montreal and Toronto in their July tour performances, serving as the ambassadors of culture and friendship.
