An island with a wide array of cultural influences, Taiwan’s music scene has always been vibrant. This includes classical and jazz music, genres that have seen a rise in popularity over the past few years. As such, ‘Resound’ continues to present the best jazz music and the best classical musicians from Taiwan. We start with a musical group known for their genre blending abilities between jazz music and classical string instruments. Interestring, as their name suggests, is aimed at making string instruments and music interesting for a contemporary audience. A string quartet by default, this Taiwanese musical group showcases not only their performance skills, but also their prowess as composers—all five tracks are written by themselves. Indeed, this episode proves that their various accolades, including the prestigious Golden Melody Awards, is not just a one-time fad.
