A repertoire of contemporary classical music with the acclaimed string quartet JADE as they perform the works of the late modern composer Jing Peng (1965–2023). A Golden Melody Award winner with deep roots in the Austro-German musical tradition, Peng was a visionary in chamber music, seamlessly blending technical brilliance with a lyrical, romantic soul. This performance captures the full breadth of his artistry, from the high-energy drive of a violin and cello duet to intimate, improvisatory cello solo pieces dedicated to his wife, Chang Chih-hui. Discover how JADE Quartet, a premier ensemble bridging Asia and Europe, interprets these intricate soundscapes, offering a poignant look at one of Taiwan’s most versatile musical voices. "Resound" is a TaiwanPlus original series that showcases Taiwan’s rich and varied musical landscape. We highlight a wide array of professionally performed genres and the diverse artists behind them—from classical virtuosos and contemporary singer-songwriters to jazz bands and a cappella groups telling stories unique to Taiwan.
