The annual Brilliant Stars concert series at the YunTay Performance Hall of National Yunlin University of Science and Technology (YunTech) will return on September 20 with this year's featured performance, “Resonant Hearts at the Piano, Brilliant Stars.” The concert once again welcomes internationally acclaimed Taiwanese pianist Chiao-Han Liao, who will perform alongside a distinguished group of Taiwan's emerging musicians active on both domestic and international stages. Centered on the theme of love and hope, the performance will guide audiences on a heartwarming and inspiring musical journey through expressive and captivating artistry.
Since its inception, the Brilliant Stars concert series has been warmly received by music enthusiasts and has gradually become one of Yunlin's signature annual cultural events. In 2023, “Timeless Masterpieces, Brilliant Stars” brought together renowned pianists Chiao-Han Liao, Chun-Chieh Yen, and Yi-Chih Lu, showcasing the rich and captivating tonal beauty of the Steinway piano through their exceptional performances. In 2025, “New Expressions on a Master Piano, Brilliant Stars” featured Chiao-Han Liao performing with Taiwan's new generation of musicians. Its diverse and innovative program received widespread acclaim from audiences.
This year's “Resonant Hearts at the Piano, Brilliant Stars” continues the spirit of the series by bringing together musicians from different generations, highlighting the inspiring dialogue between artistic tradition and innovation. The concert will also showcase the distinctive tonal qualities of two world-renowned piano brands—C. Bechstein and Steinway—demonstrating their contrasting yet equally captivating musical voices. Spanning classical masterpieces to modern works, and moving from intimate lyricism to brilliant virtuosity, the thoughtfully curated program promises a musical celebration rich in both artistic depth and emotional resonance.
The Brilliant Stars concert series has become a highly anticipated annual event for music lovers across Yunlin. Looking ahead, YunTech will continue to promote the series as a platform for artistic exchange and musical heritage, bringing outstanding musicians and inspiring performances to the region. Through these concerts, the University hopes to enrich Yunlin's cultural landscape and offer audiences meaningful musical experiences filled with inspiration, hope, and beauty, allowing the brilliance of Brilliant Stars to continue shining across Yunlin's vibrant arts community.
