""It was a special moment for me to bring back what I learned in the United States and share my love and passion for contemporary music with audiences in Taiwan.""
"The recital asked people to listen in a new way - to sit inside the repetition, to feel a single chord stretch over minutes rather than seconds."
"Hsieh threaded Glass's The Hours between Debussy's Clair de Lune and Fauré's Après un Rêve, creating sharp contrasts that highlighted the evolution of musical styles."
"Richter's On the Nature of Daylight closed the modern portion of the program, pulling the audience into a space that felt both cinematic and deeply personal."
Jennifer Chia-Hua Hsieh performed a unique concert titled 'Dream' at the Steinway Center Recital Hall in Taipei, featuring modern composers Arvo Pärt, Philip Glass, and Max Richter. The program juxtaposed contemporary works with classical pieces, creating a dreamlike atmosphere. Hsieh's performance included Pärt's Spiegel im Spiegel and Fratres, as well as Glass's The Hours and Richter's On the Nature of Daylight. The recital encouraged listeners to engage with music differently, focusing on the nuances of repetition and extended chords.
