Please join the UW Taiwan Studies Arts & Culture Program and Mrs. Mei-Yuan Hsiao (蕭美媛老師) for an afternoon of performance, discussion, and reflection honoring the legacy of Taiwan’s musical icon, Tyzen Hsiao (蕭泰然).
Tyzen Hsiao (1938–2015) was one of Taiwan’s most influential composers, whose works bridge Western classical traditions and Taiwanese musical idioms. Composing during a time of political repression, his music is deeply intertwined with Taiwan’s cultural identity, democratic movement, and diasporic experience. His compositions—ranging from symphonies and concertos to choral and sacred works—are widely celebrated for their lyrical expressiveness and emotional depth, and continue to resonate across generations.
