On Friday October 25, 2009, Taiwan Culture Center of Greater Washington DC held the very first salon concert and art gallery. Around 30 guests attended this event; many of them gave the very positive feedback immediately after the event for how much they appreciated these artists, and how great the center has improved. The concert was present by soprano Dr. Hui-Ju Chen & Pianist Dr. Kai-Ching Chang with several Taiwanese folksongs and western musical/opera selections. Dr. Chen’s cordial smile, and subtle expression has touched every audience’s heart. Dr. Chang has conveyed her playing into a great setting for the atmosphere. Together, they successfully delivered a wonderful concert with repertoires mixed in different cultural background. The art gallery featured the artists Elise Chang, Mei-Lih Chen, and Ho-Nu Cathy Chi. These artists are well known around the Greater Washington DC Metropolitan area. Particularly Elise Chang’s Sumi-e flowers and fishes; her works reflect blending of Eastern and Western sensibilities in realistic art and demonstrate elegant design and expression of Feng-shui philosophy that is prevailing among individual and corporate customers. Also being a Sumi-e stylist herself, Ms. Chen’s work presents a strong bounding to the nature. In her works, it is always contain a special harmony that revealed the balance of life and nature. Ms. Chi became highly active in art after her recent retirement. At her last exhibition, the painting “Waterfall” received a positive review from Washington Post. She has now joined Ms. Chang and Ms. Chen to be one of the major artists in the Greater Washington metropolitan area. This first art gallery at Taiwan culture Center will continue to open to all public to November 6th, 2009.
