On May 26, the chairperson and conductor of the Persatuan Seni Dan Budaya He Yue of Malaysia, Steven Goh, led a Chinese Orchestra delegation of 47 performers and teachers from four schools on a visit to the Department of Ethnomusicology at Nanhua University for academic exchanges. Starting at the end of 2022, faculty members and students from the Department of Ethnomusicology have been visiting Malaysia for exchanges and joint performances. This international exchange, in which over 200 students applied, was organized by Steven Goh specifically to gain a deeper understanding of how the Department of Ethnomusicology cultivates talent and develops transdisciplinary musical creations. Thirty-six students from Keat Hwa Secondary School, Keat Hwa II Secondary School, Hwa Lian Secondary School, and Yuk Choy Secondary School, and 11 instructors and school officials attended the exchange event at Nanhua University. The exchange students were given the opportunity to experience ‘Chinese Court Music’ and ‘Waist Drum’ courses at the Department of Ethnomusicology. These courses not only gave the students a different cultural perspective on music and dance, but also gave them a better insight into transnational performing arts. On May 28, the Chinese Orchestra of the Department of Ethnomusicology and the orchestra from the four Malaysian schools gave a joint performance at the Zhong-Dao International Conference Center at Nanhua University. The performance, titled ‘A Passion Festival – Taiwan and Malaysia Music Exchange Concert’, was a great success and gained widespread praise from the audience.
