In the closing concert of the 2024 Taipei Traditional Arts Festival, LEE Chao will premiere the LEE brothers’ concerto for Jinghus with his longtime disciple CHANG Shu-Jan. Also in the program are highlights from several blockbuster Beijing Operas as arranged by LEE Chao, featuring seven divas e.g. WEI Hai-Min and talents from younger generations, e.g. SHENG Jian, LIU Jia-Hou, HUANG Shih-Ya, LIN Ting-Yu and KUNG Yueh-Tzu.
