Affiliated with the National Center for Traditional Arts, the National Chinese Orchestra Taiwan (NCO) is the national-level Chinese orchestra under the Ministry of Culture. It brings together some of the finest Chinese musical instrument talent in Taiwan, and is dedicated to preserving tradition, while embracing contemporary Taiwanese culture. By producing and performing original works that draw on traditional Taiwanese music, the NCO taps into the allure of local music. In recent years, the NCO has strived to use traditional music to retell the stories of Taiwan, selecting local material and talent to connect Taiwan with the world through music. The ultimate aim is to build a brand of orchestral music unique to Taiwan.
