\nPolish composer Witold LUTOSLAWSKI's work Concerto for Orchestra, citing the traditional music tunes of the Mazowsze region (the province of Mazovian Voivodeship where Warsaw is located.) The composer applies the Baroque musical form to this piece, creating a masterpiece of Neoclassicism.
\nFor the opening of the first International Music Festival, Weiwuying specially invited LIN Chia-ying, the Taiwanese composer who has won numerous awards in recent years and was hailed for "manifest flair" by The Times, to commission a new song The Fabricated Sugar-Coat, showing the mastery of Taiwan's new generation of composers.
\nFinally, Igor STRAVINSKY's The Firebird is a ballet work commissioned for the Ballets Russes. With its original rhythmic patterns and orchestration, the music shocked the music circles in Paris, and opened a new era for classical music in Europe.
