The event at the National Concert Hall this Friday night will be a charity concert for the Formosa Cancer Foundation (FCF). The FCF was founded in 1997, lead by president Wang Jin-Pyng, the Speaker of the National Legislature, and had been honored at the highest level with a National Civic Service Award in 2007.

The concert, hosted by Taipei Civic Symphony Orchestra, is titled "Music - Love - Life", and will be featured with a Hakka folk song "Water Falling from the Sky", Triple Concerto by Beethoven, and concluded with the amazing Symphonie Fantastique by Berlioz. The Symphonie Fantastique is a fantasy about a love story of 180 years ago, actually of Berlioz himself. The sophisticated emotional and illusive changes provide an wide span for artistic expression, said the conductor Lin Tien-Chih. The Triple Concerto, a combination of a piano trio and a symphony or-chestra, is a very difficult format for music composition. Only Bee-thoven made it so far. The so-loists of the Triple Concerto will be violinist Chen Yiu-Yuan, cellist Wei Chih-Yin and the pianist Tsai Shih-Hao, teaching faculties from Soochow Uni-versity and Shih-Chien Uni-versity.

During this fund raising event, the FCF will also help people understand the cancer prevention programs and services of the foundation, and moreover, encourage people to participate in the survivor care and accurate education for the cancer patients and families around us.

The members of Taipei Civic Symphony Orchestra enjoy not only music, but par-ticipation in charity events. The activities they have been involved include various fund raising concerts for AIDS prevention, No Smoking for Adolescence, Spinal Inju-ries Foundation, CPR training program, Children Cancer Foundation, Formosa Can-cer Foundation. In their 2001 French con-cert tour, the proceeds benefited the "Vie et Espoir"?association, a children cancer foundation.
