Hsin-Hung LIU Organ Recital
The organ recital is given by one of Weiwuying’s organ consultants, Hsin-Hung LIU, presenting the brilliant pieces by Rachmaninoff, Bach, and several renowned French organists. Additionally, the audience will hear the organ version combining classic songs of Edelweiss and Taiwanese song Love's Lone Flower. The recital celebrates Weiwuying’s one-year anniversary with the grandeur similar to that of an orchestra.
