SUMMARY:Jade Music Fest 2023
DESCRIPTION:The second annual Jade Music Fest returns this October 18-20\, taking place in both Vancouver and Richmond. This year\, the artist lineup includes international artists from the USA\, Australia\, and Taiwan\, and of course talents from all across Canada! \nDespite the prominent and growing Chinese-speaking communities in Canada\, we rarely hear Chinese-language music in mainstream media. For musicians who write in multiple languages or want to reconnect with their heritage\, many are forced to go to Asia in search of their own stage. Jade Music Fest is a platform for industry professionals\, emerging artists\, and music lovers to share experiences\, create supportive networks\, and shine in the spotlight. \n16 artists\, 4 performance showcases\, 3 artist talks\, 3 workshops\, and 2 panels. Join JMF in making Vancouver into North America’s hub for Chinese-language music! \nHighlights include: \nTime to Play For the Lost Time: Van Lefan & Jason Qiu\nA cross-generational music presentation with Taiwanese-Canadian Van Lefan and Vancouver-based Jason Qiu who is of Cantonese background. Drawing inspiration from the golden classics of their parents’ generation\, how do these memories and the immigrant experience influence their own creative works today? \nOpening Concert: Strike the Chord featuring Xiao Bing Chih\nA medley of different genres\, a taste of the unlimited potential of Chinese-language music. Folk musician Daniel Lew sings with the strength he carries from overcoming the challenge of losing hearing in one ear; Chinese-Canadian Scope G invites his friends to share the vitality of experimenting with hip-hop; Juno award-winning Jacqueline Teh uses the warmth in her voice to heal others; and Taiwanese music artist Xiao Bing Chih shares his journey of personal growth with every song. \nJMF Showcase: Rise Up\nTelling stories through music. World-travelled Tennyson King reconnects with his roots using Mandarin and Cantonese; Taiwanese-Australian musician Kim Yang sings with the courage of a female Asian immigrant; flautist Mirabelle Jien of Calgary is reaching all corners of the world with her creativity; embracing her multifaceted identities is Darling Sparrows and her evolving folk songs; Cantopop band Dawn of Freedom protects the Hong Kong they call home through music. \nJMF Showcase: Feel the Beat\nJazz songstress Kristin Fung brings her band to soothe a week’s worth of stress; Asian-American singer-songwriter Lowhi’s heartwarming voice offers us a reprieve for the weekend; Toronto-based Aiko Tomi boldly expresses herself through music and invites us to dance along; Amis Indigenous-Canadian Kapa Arkieh and Hong Kong-born handwash share their complex immigrant identity\, showcasing the diverse landscape of Chinese-language music. \nLearn more at jmfa.ca. \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:TAIWANfest Vancouver: Hope Talks
DESCRIPTION:Why are female ghosts so terrifying\, and what do they have to do with Taiwanese culture? What do you know about the Taiwanese diaspora in Southeast Asia? And how do we transcend the historical contexts of museums to see our community’s future path? \nTAIWANfest invites speakers with a vast variety of expertise to share new and different perspectives on history. The time-worn items inside museums are still relevant to our society today\, as we’ll find out in Unveiling the National Palace Museum. The untold stories of how the Taiwanese diaspora adapted during Japanese colonial rule will be explored in Unearthing Formosa. Indigenous DJ Dungi Sapor will share how she is breaking new ground by using electronic music to preserve her culture and how through creativity\, No one is an outsider. Not for the faint of heart\, Unveiling Women: Ghostly Tales from Taiwan dives into how female ghosts in folklore connect with Taiwan’s feminist movement. \nBe sure to catch these Hope Talks at TAIWANfest\, from Sept 2-4! https://vancouvertaiwanfest.ca/ \n\n\n	Related
