(CNA, Taipei, 9th, Reporter Hsu Chih-wei) National Taipei University of Technology (NTUT) held an international music exchange event, inviting Harvard University's all-female soprano a cappella group to Taiwan for a cultural feast blending music, humanities, and an international perspective, also allowing students from both sides to interact and expand their cross-cultural communication skills.
NTUT issued a press release today stating that The Radcliffe Pitches, founded in 1975, is Harvard University's oldest all-female soprano a cappella group. The relationship between NTUT and The Radcliffe Pitches dates back to May 2024, when the Puluo Tech Culture & Arts Foundation, formed by NTUT alumni, facilitated the first joint music evening, opening the first chapter of transnational exchange.
This year, NTUT's Office of Student Affairs organized the "Woven in the Quiet" international music exchange event, inviting The Radcliffe Pitches to Taiwan again after a year. This gives NTUT students the opportunity to experience the performance culture and club operations of student groups from a world-renowned university, and it is hoped that this will serve as a basis for continuously deepening exchange and connections with Harvard University.
NTUT Vice President Pai Tun-Wen stated that the journey from Harvard University to Taipei transcends not just geographical distance but also different cultures, languages, and learning experiences. He hopes that through music, voices from different backgrounds can be heard, understood, and resonate in the same space. True international exchange occurs not only in courses or academic collaborations but also through art, music, and interactions among youth.
In addition to the concert performance, NTUT also arranged a dinner banquet for exchange, allowing students from both sides to share their campus lives, club experiences, and musical cultures. Through relaxed and natural interaction, they enhanced mutual understanding, expanded cross-cultural communication abilities, and laid a good foundation for more diverse student exchange and cooperation in the future.
