The most impressive program included well-known songs such as “You raise me up,” “My Grandma’s Penghu Bay”, and “Ali Mountain Girl.” Among them the “Cupla Cups” was literally performed with cups, together with vocal performances of Ibu.Takiludun , and “The Very Thought of You”by Vox Nativa Acapella had the audience charmed and moved along with the music. The concert was brought to a perfect ending with “kipahpah ima”by the whole choir including graduates from Vox Nativa Music School of Taiwan, Vox Nativa Percussion Group, and Vox Nativa Acapella.

SCU alumnus Tiao-Ting Chen of Math Department 1976, a long-term contributor and supporter, brought the Choir to SCU campus, while President Pan expressed hope that they would one day study at SCU. The children of Vox Nativa Music School enjoyed buffet meal and received gifts of lucky bags and red envelopes for the upcoming lunar New Year.
