Hong Kong White Ink Box (香港白墨盒) X Taichung Tao-Yun Male Chorus (台中濤韻男聲合唱團) Concert
As the world grows noisier and boundaries become clearer, the distance between people seems to exist not only on maps but also quietly falls between every cold glance and silence. "From a Distance Taipei Station - Hong Kong White Ink Box (香港白墨盒) X Taichung Tao-Yun Male Chorus (台中濤韻男聲合唱團) Concert" was born in such a zeitgeist. Its inspiration comes from Bette Midler's classic song "From a Distance" — a perspective of looking back at the world from above: when we temporarily step away from disputes, fear, and prejudice, the world reveals its original vastness, tenderness, and comprehensible beauty.
This concert is co-performed by Hong Kong cross-media artist and founder of the charitable arts organization White Ink Box (白墨盒), Li Zhe Geoff Erik Li (李喆), together with Taiwan's emerging male chorus Tao-Yun Male Chorus (濤韻男聲合唱團), Hong Kong music producer林天恩Marcus Lam, Hong Kong stage actor and playwright梁景堯Terrence Leung, singer何冠駒Clarence Ho, and Taiwanese street dancer CookieMan. The choice to present this with Tao-Yun Male Chorus in Taiwan is not merely a program collaboration but a natural meeting of ideals and vocal qualities. The song "From a Distance" depicts not only a perspective of gazing at the world from afar but also a humanistic spirit that transcends opposition and relearns to understand each other; it believes that when people are willing to step back slightly, they can better see the shared beauty and shared wounds of the world. This call for harmony, inclusion, and hope deeply resonates with the artistic path that Tao-Yun Male Chorus has built over the years. Since its establishment in 2016, the chorus has continuously promoted male choral singing through diverse repertoire, with members from various backgrounds, fostering understanding and exchange through music. In recent years, through commissioned works, gender equality-themed pieces, and cross-cultural repertoire, the chorus has made choral singing not just a harmony of voices but also a medium carrying social concern and life experiences.
This evening is not just a performance but a quietly unfolding dialogue — about how people traverse distances, about how we, amidst the unease of the times, still choose to believe in understanding, connection, and light. As the singers' rich and delicate voices reflect the concert's humanistic theme, what the audience hears will be not just notes but a possibility of being gently embraced by the world.
