commemorating WWI armistice
Formosa English News 2018年11月6日
Acclaimed Vienna-trained pianist Rueibin Chen
has made history for being the first Taiwanese soloist to perform at the
Hollywood Bowl. This year marks the 100th year since the end of the First World
War. To commemorate the armistice, Chen has planned a rewarding concert
repertoire of composers whose works consider the themes of war, hope, and
peace. Chen will play three Taiwan concerts. The program features French
composers in honor of France, which suffered terrible casualties during the
First World War. Through these wartime pieces, Chen hopes to deliver a
meditation on the cruelties of war, and the fragility and importance of peace.
