Hosted by: Taiwan Philharmonic (National Symphony Orchestra), Taiwan Academy, Ministry of Culture
Description: One of Asia's leading orchestras, the Taiwan Philharmonic makes its U.S. debut in Costa Mesa—an exclusive U.S. appearance—performing Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony and works by two Taiwanese composers: Chun-Wei Lee and the late Tyzen Hsiao, whose compositional style earned him the international reputation of “Taiwan’s Rachmaninoff.”
Acclaimed violinist Cho-Liang Lin joins the orchestra for Hsiao’s Violin Concerto, which was premiered by Lin with the San Diego Symphony in 1992. Culturally significant as the first violin concerto in Taiwan’s history, the work incorporates lush melodies and elements of Taiwanese folk songs. This performance will also feature the world premiere of Chun-Wei Lee’s The Last Mile, which pays tribute to Taiwan’s indigenous tribes with its use of a Taiwanese aboriginal folk theme.

Description: 台大校友會將於今年10月2日于爾灣湖景老人中心旁的麥克華德公園舉辦慶祝中華民國105 年雙十國慶升旗典禮. 歡迎各界人士參加觀禮.
台大校友會去年雙十第一次在橙縣試辦升旗典禮,獲得各方好評.許多來自台灣的僑民說多年未見升旗及唱國歌,感動得落淚. 今年有多位華僑及橙縣校友在八月就開始詢問今年是否續辦. 為不讓大家失望,並本著對中華民國台灣的熱愛,台大校友會決定今年擴大辦此升旗典禮.並邀請成大校友會,政大校友會,及東海校友會協辦.
中華旗隊是協助升旗典禮最主要的組織.他們不僅帶來升旗用的旗桿及中美國旗,並帶來許多插旗及帳棚以應需要. 台大舞龍隊將由他們的青年團旗舞隊帶領出場. 南加州北一女校友儀隊的表演也是另一個高潮. 除此之外, 爾灣銀髮族口琴隊及南加州建中校友合唱團也將帶來精采的表演. 升旗的另一看點是施放和平鴿.由於爾灣市不准許放汽球,台大校友會不惜重金租來和平鴿,希望這個升旗典禮能給來賓帶來難忘的回憶. 典禮會在切蛋糕及大合照中結束. 來賓除蛋糕外, 還有春捲,紙包雞等小點可食用. 華興保險提供150 份贈品,先到先得. 大會還有募來的獎品作抽獎用.
此次升旗活動,除台大校友會主辦外,另有多位心繫台灣的僑委及僑界成功人士給予捐助才得以辦成.台大校友會會長胡安瀅說,升旗典禮後大家可留在公園野餐,像慶祝7 月4 日美國國慶一般.公園面對爾灣木橋區的北湖,風景幽美,是一家人歡度一個國慶周末的好去處.
