National Taiwan University Chorus (NTU Chorus) is one of Taiwan’s most distinguished choirs. The bright and youthful choir with its one hundred singers performs a wide-ranging repertoire encompassing various styles, including canonic Western choral literatures, spiritual and gospel music, Chinese art songs, Taiwanese folksongs, operatic choral numbers, musical medleys, and works commissioned by Taiwan's emerging talented composers. Vibrant, ambitious and remarkably adaptable, NTU Chorus is especially acclaimed for bringing together vocal beauty, lighting effects and choreographed dance moves to dramatic effect.
I hope to write down my feelings here. The day before yesterday, I attended the NTU Choir’s 60th-anniversary concert. Their collaboration with the Evergreen Symphony Orchestra was truly impressive. The entire 2.5-hour performance was non-stop and captivating, giving me goosebumps and bringing tears to my eyes. In the nearly full National Concert Hall, I could feel the tremendous effort put in by freshman and sophomore students through their club activities. It’s really not easy to sustain such a legacy for six decades. My favorite piece of the entire concert was the overture “Deliver Us” from The Prince of Egypt. Watching videos at home cannot compare to the impact of seeing it live. The choreography and chorus were exhilarating, and it was wonderful to feel the students’ passion for the choir! 🥹
