Founded in 2019 by the Hakka Affairs Council, the National Taiwan Hakka Children’s Choir is Taiwan’s only national-level children’s choir dedicated to promoting the beauty of Hakka music and culture through the art of choral singing. Meng-Hsien Peng, an internationally acclaimed conductor and driving force behind world champion choirs, was invited to serve as its Director, Artistic Director, and Conductor.
In 2021, the choir transitioned to management by the Hakka Public Communication Foundation, which integrates digital and media strategies to expand the global reach of Taiwan’s Hakka musical heritage.
Comprising more than 50 young singers selected through open auditions, the choir has grown rapidly under Meng-Hsien’s artistic leadership. Its repertoire spans traditional and contemporary Hakka works, interpreted through pure, resonant children’s voices that embody both cultural roots and modern expression. With a mission to bridge Taiwan and the world, the National Taiwan Hakka Children’s Choir continues to share the spirit of Hakka culture on the international stage, representing the timeless harmony of tradition, youth, and innovation.
