I’m posting this on behalf of a friend who is involved in this festival and all the photos are NOT from the Arts Evolution Music Festival. They were from the Ho Hai Yan Rock Festival earlier this year. We happened upon the last hours of the festival in Yilan when we went on our around the island trip this year.

I didn’t want to have a post without photos,  sorry if it is confusing:

Come join us at the first Arts Evolution Music Festival, brought to you by Ji-Ee Charitable Foundation and Dreamland Concert Hall. Presenting four highly imaginative and creative performances in two days, each with its own unique element and collaboration, the Arts Evolution Music Festival strives to transcend boundaries of styles, genres, traditions, and cultures. With genuine curiosity, we explore all kinds of possibility to express classical music to make it accessible, attainable, and available for all. We find a common ground in Folk music, Classical music, Jazz, and even old popular songs, and we invite the theatrical and visual elements to create a context that could resonate with everyone. Joined by the Mini Street Fair and musicians from three continents, this is classical music as you have never experienced before!
