Creative Concept:
The Taichung Jazz Festival, an annual event held at the Taichung City Hall Square, stands as one of the most significant cultural events in Taichung. Attracting millions of attendees, it's not only a cultural exchange platform and a city branding instrument but also a key destination for international jazz enthusiasts. The festival significantly elevates Taichung's prestige and reputation, playing a vital role in propelling urban cultural development and international exchange.
The entrance music for the MRT station extends this concept. Incorporating elements like the piano, trumpet, and percussion, it's styled with the fervent and vibrant flair of Latin Jazz. The aim is to enhance the Taichung City Hall Station's impression as a cultural melting pot and a hub of creativity and vitality at the city's heart.
