The musicians from those countries have learned and communicated with the Taiwan Yangqin Orchestra, and also exported traditional music materials for adaptation or novel creations, contributing to the promotion of Taiwanese music art and the spread of the dulcimer ensemble.</p><p>Featuring Musicians:</p><p>Jane Ying-Ciao Liao</p><p>Wei-Ling Wang</p><p>Jolin Yu-Ju Liu</p><p>Joanne Yun-Ju Hsieh</p><p>Jodie Jin-Tong Wu</p><h3></h3><h3>Orchid Ensemble</h3><p>Established in 1997, the JUNO-nominated Orchid Ensemble is acclaimed as “one of the most adventurous groups uniting Eastern and Western musical traditions” (Georgia Straight). The trio is made up of internationally renowned musicians Lan Tung (Taiwan/Canada) on the erhu/Chinese violin &amp; vocals, Dailin Hsieh (Taiwan/Canada) on the zheng/Chinese zither, and Jonathan Bernard (Canada) on percussion, including the marimba. The ensemble regularly commissions and premieres new compositions.
