NCKU medical center chorus wows audience
Taiwan, Tainan, December 30, 2014
The National Cheng Kung University Medical Center Chorus (NCKU MCC) wowed its audience at a spectacular showcase in the 3rd Lecture Hall of the Cheng-Hsin Campus on December 28.
The event was divided into two halves. The first half was a musical concert, which consisted of a wide selection of songs, including a choir rendition of Michael Jackson’s pop song “I’ll be There”; “Shenandoah” and “Blue Moon”, both of American origin; “Frozen” medley, linking the hit songs from the popular Disney production, to name a few.
Perhaps the most awaited program of the night, the second half showcased “Beauty and the Beast”, one of the most well-known Disney adaptations, as a re-invented, all-student musical production.
The cast was made up of freshman students only, coming from all departments of the College of Medicine, including the Departments of Medicine and Nursing.
Astounding the audience, the musical comprised of beatific stage décor, brilliant vocals and outstanding theatrics. Interspersed with humor, the performance garnered smashing success, as evident by the thunderous applause from the crowd.
“The night was a prime example of what the Medical Center Chorus represents,” said NCKU professor of pediatrics Ching-Chuan Liu who is also the mentor of the chorus.
“NCKU MCC has two key values, teamwork and individual creativity,” he said, “the former talks of each person’s contribution to the choir, while the latter is displayed in each actor’s representation of their character.”
He added, “Most important, however, is the tradition of senior-underclassmen guidance in the behind-the-scenes preparation of this two-hour long night of entertainment.”
The joint coordinators of the musical were medical students Shao-Kang Su and Wen-Zhen Lin.
Questioned about their feelings toward the performance, Su said that the preparation effort was “tiring, but rewarding”.
“Watching their performance tonight, it’s like the finalization of a dream,” added Lin. “We’re very proud of them [the freshmen]”
Instructor and conductor of the choir, Yuan-Fu Tai declares that he was moved by the night’s performance.
“I was really moved,” he said. “Though none of us [the choir] are really professionals in the music arena, we all showed more dedication than veteran professionals, and it’s very touching to see.”
