from Come Along! · host Sharon Lin

Cue music, please. Not just any music, but that from a Baroque violin, historical bassoon, recorder, and beats of drums that take you back in time. The Gleam Ensemble has arrived at our show! Hey, it’s Sharon, and today I had the great pleasure of chatting with Martin Chiang, Director of The Gleam Ensemble, and Music Director, Shio Ohshita. The Gleam Ensemble is a young Taiwanese early music platform. They host concerts regularly, historical dance seminars, presentations and especially early music education in Taiwan, also translating early music sources to Mandarin Chinese for a wider audience. What was their founding story? Why perform early music? What are the stories behind these fascinating instruments? Let’s find out. Towards the end, we’ve also prepared a musical feast for you, so stay tuned
