2023【Explore the Pipe Organ】July- Dec
Besides the breathtaking vineyard-style seating and outstanding acoustics at the Weiwuying Concert Hall, the pipe organ, located on the top floor, is another major highlight. If you're wondering what this largest organ in Asia can do, our Explore the Pipe Organ series of events is just what you're looking for!
Performances will be enhanced with other instruments, special lighting effects, and informative explanations, which will make the organ's diversity and charm more accessible and understandable to the audience.
In addition, the programs boast two unique features: The first is that they will be Close-up Shows—the stage will be transformed into a seating area to give the audience an even closer experience with the organ. The second is the Musical Chairs aspect: members of the audience will be permitted to get up and move to other seats between pieces of music to try out different perspectives and get an idea of which seats they would like to reserve for future performances.
So for an hour each month, come to our Explore the Pipe Organ events to see all the secrets behind this fascinating instrument!
Programs
8/2(Wed)14:30-15:30 Eternal Love - Baroque Concertos (Close-up Show) | |
For the romantic atmosphere of Chinese Valentine's Day, August's event will showcase solo organ performances of two of history's most well-known songs, WAGNER's "Bridal Chorus" from Lohengrin and MENDELSSOHN's "Wedding Procession" from A Midsummer Night's Dream—you might just think you should be throwing rice and crying! The show will produce a different, but by no means inferior, feel compared with the commonly heard orchestra versions. To emphasize this distinction, BACH's Concerto in d minor and WALTHER's Concerto in b minor (adaptations of concertos by VIVALDI) will fully express the diversity of the organ's timbre. In addition, BACH's "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" and MÜTHEL's Fantasie in F Major for Organ will add to the warmth and joy of the program. | |
9/27(Wed)14:30-15:30 Echoing Folk Songs from Around the World (Musical Chairs) Organist｜Sean JACKSON | |
Most people are accustomed to pipe organs performing hymns or psalms. But what would it be like if the pipe organ played well-known and enduring folk songs? In this performance, LIU Hsin-hung will play Taiwan Sketches by CHEN Si-chih on the pipe organ, presenting the island's landscapes. LIU also invites Caribbean organist and pianist, Sean JACKSON, to adapt classic Taiwanese melodies dear to him. Furthermore, LIU blends the Taiwanese ballad "Lonely Flower" with the world-famous "Edelweiss" demonstrating how music transcends boundaries. JACKSON will also bring melodies filled with tropical charm. Combined with the ’musical chair’ series where audience are invited to choose or change seats, they can experience music from across the globe all within the concert hall! | |
10/18(Wed)14:30-15:30 Knock! Knock! Music or Trick! (Close-up Show) | |
How versatile is a pipe organ? Beyond religious imagery, the pipe organ in contemporary film and television tends to bring about a thrilling and devious effect. After all, a person with the ability to produce a massive and overpowering sound, is either an act of divinity or monstrosity. This Halloween-themed performance selects organ pieces with mysterious and eerie qualities: BACH's Toccata and Fugue in d minor, already synonymous with "vampires," unique contemporary jazz syncopated pieces, and the pensive Clair de Lune by DEBUSSY, SOUSA's grand The Stars and Stripes Forever. Audience can also feel the intense impact of the instrument whilst seating directly under the organ in this "close-up show" concert. | |
11/22(Wed)14:30-15:30 The Pipe Organ Battles the Symphony (Musical Chairs) | |
With the use of both hands and feet of the musican, together with hundreds of pipes, the pipe organ can be an equal match to a modern full-size symphony orchestra! In this performance, pipe organist LIU Hsin-hung will act as a conductor and an orchestra all by himself to demostrate the granduer of this instrument!! Variations de Concert by French composer Joseph BONNET and the symphonies of French composer Charles-Marie WIDOR are written solely for solo organ. From the title alone, you can detect how the composers equate the pipe organ with the orchestra. The popular film scores such as John WILLIAMS' "Imperial March" from Star Wars and Hans ZIMMER's score for Interstellar, demonstrate the organ's ability to correspond to the boundless universe. In this 'musical chair' series, audience are invited to change or choose seats, giving them an opportunity to appreciate to appreciate the grandeur of the pipe organ from various angles. | |
12/13(Wed)14:30-15:30 Christmas Feast of Joy Organist｜Sean JACKSON, CHEN Hsiang-yu | |
At the end of 2023, three organists: LIU Hsin-hung, Sean JACKSON, and CHEN Hsiang-yu, will jointly present “Resounding Joy: The Pipe Organ Christmas Extravaganza,” which includes a selection of Christmas-themed pieces across history, including works from HANDEL, TCHAIKOVSKY, and American Negro Spirituals. They will pull out all their stops and fully utilizing all the organs, including one on stage, two on the third floor, a concert piano and a positive organ. This program will showcase the special blend of different keyboard instruments and demonstrate the full potential of Weiwuying's pipe organ, drawing a lively and exciting conclusion for the year! | |
