Songs of Kaohsiung

Audiences can get a glimpse of the city of Kaohsiung through the work of Taiwan award-winning harpist-composer Lee Je-yi, Harbor Fantasy. Combining erhu (Chinese two-string fiddle) and cello, the work describes the past, present and future of Kaohsiung, and expresses the musician's love for the city. The work will be performed at a concert titled The Trip Across Music by Kaohsiung City Symphony Orchestra, which was founded in 1981. To boost cultural exchange across the Straits, the concert will also feature mainland musicians, including award-winning pianist Liu Mengjie and Paganini Violin Competition winner Ning Feng.
