The soon to be inaugurated Taipei Music Center, which is to hold its opening concert next month, would become a new icon for popular music in Asia, officials said yesterday.

The 8.96-hectare pop music center on Civic Boulevard in Nangang District (南港), which has separate concert and exhibition halls, music classrooms, rehearsal rooms, offices and recording studios, is to be officially launched on Sept. 5, Taipei Deputy Mayor Tsai Ping-kun (蔡炳坤) told a press conference.

The city envisions the center becoming a venue for pop music performances and the pop music industry, as well as a training center for music artists, Tsai said.

“The center will be like a diamond that lights up the area,” he said.    [FULL  STORY]
