	NEW YORK - Tuesday, October 5, 2004 - The Taipei Cultural Center of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in New York is proud to present Taiwan Elites, a concert featuring four Taiwanese musicians who have won prestigious international competitions. They will gather together in a special presentation at Carnegie Hall's Zankel Hall. Chiao-Ying Chang will make her New York recital debut. She will be joined by violinist Ming-Feng Hsin, winner of the Montreal International Violin Competition, violist Che-Hung Chen, first-prize winner at the seventh Banff International String Quartet Competition (as a member of the Daedalus Quartet), and cellist Sophie Shao, winner of top prizes at the Rostropovich Competition and the Tchaikovsky Competition.
The concert begins at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, October 24th at Zankel Hall at Carnegie Hall (57th Street & 7th Avenue). Tickets are $25 and $15 and are available by calling the box office. Hoping to promote and develop the arts, the Council for Cultural Affairs (CCA) has recently begun to cultivate programs aimed at nurturing talent. Through close collaboration with the National Endowment for Culture and Arts (NECA), young and talented musicians from Taiwan have been selected to become elite members of the "Treasury of Young Musicians." This program aims to expand the musicians' artistic skills and experiences, thereby allowing them to gain access to international events. As such, it establishes a viable forum through which these promising musicians can present their artistry on a global stage. After much success organizing such international events, the CCA proudly presented the first Taiwan International Piano Competition in 2003. The winner of this event was 23 year-old Taiwanese pianist Chiao-Ying Chang.
