Han-Tang Yuefu

The Han-Tang Yuefu Music Ensemble (Chinese: 漢唐樂府; pinyin: Hàn-Táng Yuèfǔ) is a music and dance company based in Tamsui, Taiwan. It specializes in Nanguan, a form of classical Chinese music from Fujian and Taiwan, and Liyuan, a dance style derived from the string puppetry used in regional opera.[1] It was founded in 1983 by choreographer and Nanguan musician Chen Mei-o, to preserve and promote Nanguan by fusing it with other traditional arts like Liyuan.[2][3]

The company has won several important arts awards in Taiwan and received international acclaim for their performances at various music festivals throughout the world.[1][4]
