Judy Ongg Holds Press Conference for 'Song of Time' Concert, Dedicated to Late Mother

(Central News Agency reporter Wang Xinyu, Taipei, 5th) Singer Judy Ongg held a press conference today for her 'Sunshine-like 60th Anniversary Concert - Song of Time'. Ongg revealed that her mother was still alive when she recorded 'Song of Time', but after her mother passed away, emotions surge up whenever she sings it. She hopes to sing it smoothly at the concert.

Ongg will perform at the Taipei International Convention Center on August 29 and 30, and will head to Huisun Hall at National Chung Hsing University in Taichung on the afternoon of November 28. Tickets are on sale.

Ongg stated today that besides her signature white dress, she plans to have five dresses for the concert. Guest Bai Bingbing appeared today, presenting flowers and bird's nest, and revealed that when she debuted in Japan, Ongg was already a superstar, and she never had the chance to meet her, but will now serve as a guest for the concert.

'Song of Time', which Ongg performed with the 'Sunshine Women's Chorus', is the centerpiece of this concert. She said in an interview that the concert is dedicated to her mother, who always encouraged her throughout her career. 'My mother was still alive when I recorded it, but emotions surge up whenever I sing it. I will adjust my mood and hope to finish the concert smoothly.'

Ongg said she once dreamed of her mother after she passed away. They were in a house by the sea. 'She said she missed me and hugged me. I also said I missed her. Then she said, "Let's go for a walk," and I got lost.' She said that because of her optimistic personality, she didn't cry, but she believes her mother is always by her side, and she wants to leave a seat for her mother at the concert.
