[Noon Concert 190] Flowing Sounds of Fireworks ~ Shakuhachi and Koto · The Soundscape of Flowing Time

As the summer heat gradually sinks into the evening breeze, the sounds of the shakuhachi and koto, like fireworks blooming in the night sky, illuminate the flow of time in an instant. This summer, [Harmony of Flowers] reunites with Japanese shakuhachi performer Motonaga Taku (元永拓), joining hands with Taiwanese young performers Ho Cheng-hsien (何政弦), Huang Wan-chen (黃婉甄), and Li Ming-hao (李銘浩) to use musical notes as a brush, sketching a musical journey that transcends regions and time. This performance is rooted in the tradition of Japanese Hogaku, integrating contemporary creative dialogue: * Classical Serenity: Appreciate the spiritual world of shakuhachi honkyoku. * Land Memories: Hear the shimmering waters of Sun Moon Lake and the ancient city of Tainan under the musicians' pens. * Contemporary Dialogue: Taiwanese and Japanese performers collaborate to give traditional sounds new life. Music is like fireworks; though they bloom in an instant, they can leave an eternal afterglow. We invite you to witness the luminous points of flowing time within the resonance of the shakuhachi and koto. ■ Performers: [Harmony of Flowers] (Shakuhachi | Liu Ying-jung (劉穎蓉); Japanese Koto | Hsu Su-ping (徐宿玶)) Special Guest Japanese Shakuhachi Performer: Motonaga Taku (元永拓) Supporting Performers: Shakuhachi | Ho Cheng-hsien (何政弦); Japanese Koto | Huang Wan-chen (黃婉甄), Li Ming-hao (李銘浩) ■ Time: July 19, 2026 (Sun) 14:30 (Latecomers or those leaving midway may enter only during intermission; early arrival is recommended) ■ Location: Lin Chien-sheng Memorial Library Concert Hall (No. 178, Sanmin Rd., Luzhou District, New Taipei City, near MRT Luzhou Line Sanmin Senior High School Station) ■ Admission: Limited to 200 seats, ages 7 and above, free registration required. #No on-site waiting list ■ Registration: Online registration opens from 10:00 on Thursday, July 9: https://www.accupass.com/go/1150719 #Seniors aged 80 and above may inquire by phone: 02-22855188 ■ Program: 1.
