Double Ten Day

September 28, 2018 By Northwest Asian Weekly

Taiwan will celebrate its 107th National Day on Oct. 10. Double Ten Day, as its known, commemorates the start of the Wuchang Uprising of Oct. 10, 1911 (10-10 or double ten).

The Taipei Economic and Cultural Office (TECO) in Seattle in conjunction with Philharmonia Northwest will launch a Taiwanese music performance: “Ilha Formosa (Music of Taiwan).”

Philharmonia Northwest is joined by Taiwanese choirs from Seattle, Vancouver B.C., and Taiwan to give a rare performance of Tyzen Hsiao’s Ilha Formosa Requiem for Formosa’s Martyrs, and soloists Tien-Hsin Cindy Wu (violin), Felix Fan (cello), and Angelo Rondello (piano) to perform Gordon Chin’s Triple Concerto. The concert also includes Shui-Long Ma’s portrayal of one of the most famous legendary Taiwanese Robin Hood figures, Liao Tian-Ding.

In a statement, TECO said it sincerely appreciates all the support for Taiwan and assistance to our office to promote the ever-growing bilateral relations with the Northwestern states in United States.
