"The Sounds of Taiwan concerts is a great opportunity to enhance musical 
literacy of the citizens," said Stan Shih, co-producer of the concert and 
chairman of the StanShih Foundation. "I hope to continue this annual event and 
maybe one day, it will become recognized as the eastern counterpart of the 
Vienna New Year's Concert."

This year's concert highlighted a diversity of sounds in Taiwan, including 
golden hits, Taiwanese opera, indigenous music, new pieces by Taiwanese 
composers in addition to Peking opera. The concert was jointly organized by the 
StanShih Foundation and Formosa TV.

The One Song Orchestra (http://www.onesongorchestra.com/) debuted in 2017 and 
is directed by award-winning composer, Che-Yi Lee. The orchestra is known for 
music written by Taiwanese artists or influenced by elements of Taiwanese 
culture. The orchestra is composed of young artists with solid classical 
training.

In preparation for the New Year large-scale gatherings, Taiwan's Centers for 
Disease Control released clear pandemic-control policies to best ensure the 
health of all attendees. Standard measures were reinforced, including wearing 
masks at all times, and having temperatures checked and hands sanitized before 
entering venues. While additional measures were made: no standing tickets for 
indoor events, event organizers to keep participants contact details, and more.
