History
Formed in 2002 when the four founding members came together for a concert tour of Taiwan, the Formosa Quartet is committed to championing Taiwanese music and promoting the arts in the land of its heritage. The members of the Formosa Quartet are the founders and faculty members of the annual Formosa Chamber Music Festival in Hualien, Taiwan.
Career
In the 2014-2015 season, the Formosa Quartet began a two-year residency with Art of Élan, a San Diego arts-presenting organization. As ensemble-in-residence, the Quartet will work with UCSD professor of composition Lei Liang to create a new piece based on music indigenous to the aboriginal tribes of Taiwan. The culmination of the two-year project will be the premiere performance of the commission and a new disc of music inspired by Hungarian and Taiwanese folk traditions.
The quartet premiered Taiwanese-American composer Shih-Hui Chen’s Returning Souls: Four Pieces on Three Formosan Amis Legends in 2014, and the Quartet’s recording of its first commission from Ms. Chen, Fantasia on the Theme of Plum Blossom, was released on the New World Records label in 2013.
