CHEN Mao-shuen and FORMUSICA: 40th Anniversary Concert
CHEN Mao-shuen, the recipient of the National Award for Arts, is not only a renowned Taiwanese composer but also an exceptional music educator. Like his compositions, the music theory teaching materials and pitch tests he created in collaboration with his students fused Western theories with Eastern philosophy, resulting in a comprehensive set of musical ear training methods for the community. In 1983, Professor CHEN and his composition students established "FORMUSICA" to serve as a platform for publishing their works. This year marks the 40th anniversary of FORMUSICA, in honor of which we are presenting a series of activities celebrating CHEN's "East meets West" approach.
For the CHEN Mao-shuen and FORMUSICA 40th-anniversary event series, the Weiwuying Art Gallery will feature an exhibition telling CHEN's life story. We will celebrate CHEN's contributions to music creation and education in Taiwan through musical performances in the Recital Hall. Following musical exhibitions in Taipei, the 40th-anniversary event series continues in the southern part of the country with the upcoming final show. The performance will showcase ten compositions: five are from Professor CHEN, and each is paired with a work by one of his talented composer students. The repertoire includes art songs, piano pieces, and chamber music, offering the audience an immersive experience in the musical dialogue between CHEN and his students. The compositions by younger-generation composers include YEN Pey-wen's Oyster Noodles, HU Yu-chun's The Infinite Lights, WANG Ying-chieh's Linear Time, LIN Szu-pei's Following, and CHIU Yen-ning's Mandala.

Team Introduction
FORMUSICA, a composer collective founded by the receiver of the National Award for Arts, CHEN Mao-shuen and his students in 1983, welcomes its 40th anniversary in 2023. FORMUSICA composers present new works twice a year and specifically dedicate themselves to composing contemporary piano works for children in recent years. CHEN has an ultimate concern for Taiwan's music creation and education. He said in his acceptance speech for the National Award for Arts: 'An refined culture must rely on education and must be deeply rooted in primary education... In Taiwan, most of our teaching materials are imported from abroad; it "seems" that we need not present our own perspectives and thoughts.' He thus proposed that the idea– "importing existing teaching materials from the West is enough"– needs to be changed. With this belief, FORMUSICA composers are committed to the writing of music theory and music creation based on Taiwanese perspectives, hoping to lay the foundation for Taiwan's own music education and creation.
