A delegation of 48 TNUA teachers and students from the Department of Music arrived in Thailand on November 19 for an almost one-week visit to sister schools Burapha University and Chulalongkorn University.
During their stay, they held four joint concerts with their counterparts from the sister schools, gifting the delegation with an unforgettable exchange experience.
Prof. Liu, Hwei-Jin, dean of the School of Music, noted that it was the second time that TNUA has been invited to Burapha University to feature in the opening concert for the MUPA Festival.
But there was a difference from last time in 2011 when TNUA's performances were more mixed, offering a variety of attractions that included Peking Opera and silent films , with participation from several departments, such as traditional music, dance and filmmaking.
This year the focus was on music, Prof. Liu said. The delegation's performances included rendition of songs by the TNUA Chorus; and a solo violin recital Prof. Su, Shien-Ta, chairperson of the Department of Music.
Burapha University President Prof. Sompol Pongthai, as well as other school administrators, professors and students, showed their TNUA guests warm hospitality during their stay.
The TNUA delegation also visited Chulalongkorn University. The TNUA Chorus and the Chulalongkorn University Choir held a joint concert where they sang two songs, “Oh, I Say” and “Alexandra,” written by King Bhumibol Adulyadei of Thailand.
