Kinmen, Nov. 7 (CNA) The annual Kinmen Tunnel Music Festival started Saturday in an old military tunnel that used to hold military vessels, with South Korean baritone Ilhun Jung making his first appearance at the event.

Held on floating stages in Zhaishan Tunnel, the two-day show in Jincheng Township will also include performances by several local artists such as soprano Jeannie Chiang (蔣啟真) and harmonica player Jang Li (李讓).

With the spreading COVID-19 pandemic, renowned cellist Chang Chen-chieh (張正傑) said "hope" is exactly what the world needs right now, and music will help spread that positive energy.

According to the cellist, who is also the festival's art director, Jung arrived in Taiwan as early as September to undergo the 14-day mandatory quarantine in preparation for his appearance at this year's event.    [FULL  STORY]
