Overview

In mid‑July, reports highlighted that Taiwan’s children’s choirs were showcasing the island’s cultural talent both domestically and abroad. By the end of July, the focus shifted to a specific overseas engagement: the Ni‑bun Choir and the Baolai Middle School choir from Kaohsiung were slated to travel to Sweden for the 14th World Choir Games (August 4‑19). Preparations included warm‑up concerts at National Dong Hwa University and the Weiwuying Arts Center, featuring indigenous, Hakka, Minnan and international repertoire. Local officials, including Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Chi‑maï and legislator Chiu Yi‑ying, attended these events to lend support. The choirs, which have previously secured gold medals in competitions across South Africa, Korea, New Zealand and Tokyo, aim to boost Taiwan’s regional cultural profile on the global stage.
