Tainan, Taiwan, October 11th, 2010
NCKU President Michael Ming-Chiao Lai, renowned musician Chen-Chieh Chang, and harpist Chi-Mei Hong have together performed beautiful pieces of music with instruments of violin, cello and harp and announced the beginning of 2010 NCKU Performing Arts Festival on October 11th in front of Student Activity Center, Kuang-Fu Campus, National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), Tainan, Taiwan.
The 2010 NCKU Performing Arts Festival, the feast of art in Southern Taiwan, has hosted the opening ceremony of artist Ying-Chieh Chen’s work “Thinker” on October 11th, where NCKU President Michael Ming-Chao Lai and other guests have together unveiled the artistic work and musician Chen-Chieh Chang and harpist Chi-Mei Hong have inaugurated the series of events with their performance.
NCKU President Michael Ming-Chiao Lai expressed, “Words are unnecessary when we have already heard such beautiful melodies of cellist Chen-Chieh Chang and harpist Chi-Mei Hong. With so many artistic works and artistic events, I believe everyone has recognized that NCKU campus has progressed toward a humanistic campus. NCKU started with the College of Engineering, thus having a masculine aura. However, in the past few years, it has transformed into a campus which embodies romantic atmosphere, soothing the mood and emotions of teachers and students.”
President Lai also mentioned, “NCKU has improved its hardware and software equipments. For instance, the Student Activity Center has just completed its renovation and Cheng-Kung Hall is currently under reconstruction. We hope NCKU campus can become a humanistic and artistic campus. This is the promise I made four years ago when I arrived at NCKU. I hope teachers and students can do research and engage in studies under a beautiful and wonderful environment.”
In addition to hardware and software equipments, NCKU has promoted various artistic and music events, and the annual Performing Arts Festival is one of them. President Lai said, “I hope all the faculty and students can long for music, yearn for arts and aspire to humanistic activities. This is one of my educational goals at NCKU. This goal will last forever and there will be many art festivals to look forward to each year. NCKU welcomes the community and the local citizens to come to NCKU to appreciate the art and enjoy the music. I hope in addition to fulfilling the responsibilities of a university to the community, NCKU can also bring up the artistic atmosphere of Tainan and Southern Taiwan.”
After the opening ceremony, NCKU President Michael Ming-Chiao Lai has put on a special performance with musician Chen-Chieh Chang and harpist Chi-Mei Hong.
The 2010 NCKU Performing Arts Festival has organized a series of events, including 16 amazing art performances, 4 lectures, 7 film festivals and 3 exhibitions, from October to December, hoping to create the most lively art palace in Southern Taiwan.
NCKU Art Center Director Qong-Rui Xiao expressed, “Last year, through the concept of contemporary art, we have opened up the thinking and creativity of teachers and students for humanistic arts, contributing to a more intimate conversation and exchange between people and the environment. This year, under the beautiful melodies of renowned cellist Chen-Chieh Chang and renowned harpist Chi-Mei Hong, the 2010 NCKU Performing Arts Festival has inaugurated, allowing teachers and students to enjoy the artistic atmosphere on campus, making the campus a more humanistic space and establishing a unique sense of esthetics.”
