National Taiwan Music Culture Park Introduction
This is the only music cultural park in Taiwan, which includes the concert hall of the National Symphony Orchestra of Taiwan. In addition to the concert hall, there is an "Instrument Exhibition Area" where visitors can see the instruments used by the symphony orchestra. Through digital technology and audiovisual equipment, one can learn about the performance methods and related knowledge of these instruments. Above the Instrument Exhibition Area, the "Audiovisual Cultural Plaza" offers a rich database that serves as a resource for music inquiry and appreciation. The plaza features an open-access display area including a journal section, a book section, and an audiovisual multimedia section, where visitors can first choose their favorite music videos or CDs from the collection area and then enjoy them in a personal listening area. Furthermore, the Audiovisual Cultural Plaza has specially designated "Opera Area" and "Composer Area" exhibition sections, showcasing the operas performed by the National Symphony Orchestra of Taiwan since its establishment, as well as works by representative composers from Taiwan. It also records the footprints of the orchestra across various counties, townships, cultural centers, and performance halls in Taiwan. Additionally, the "Quality Studio" provides visiting musicians and artists with a well-equipped space for creation and rehearsal activities, while the "Study Center" plays an important role in facilitating music education, appreciation, and experiential learning. The overall space of the park integrates learning, appreciation, performance, and experience, welcoming you and your friends to easily delve into classical music. The concert hall officially opened on December 1, 2002, and is a medium-sized performance venue with a total of 574 seats. To achieve perfect sound quality, the side walls of the audience area are designed with adjustable acoustic panels, ensuring the musical performances meet professional standards. Besides concerts, the hall is also suitable for opera and ballet performances. Professional recording studios and rehearsal rooms are planned, making it an internationally standard concert hall in terms of stage, sound, recording equipment, and audience seating. The front exterior wall of the concert hall features a ceramic sculpture titled "Music Feast," designed and created by artist Lin Chao-Ching. The colorful instruments and musical notes appear to dance on the ceramic wall, conveying the rich dynamism of music. Upon completion, it was the largest public artwork in Taiwan and the largest ceramic wall creation in Southeast Asia.
