Tainan, TAIWAN- Divine Performing Arts (DPA) arrived in Taiwan on February 20th, 2009, for its third run in that country. Professor Lee Der-lin, Dean at the College of Performing and Visual Arts of the National University of Tainan, is a loyal fan. Dr. Lee has has seen the DPA's Chinese New Year Spectacular for the past two years and shared his enthusiasm with his students.

One of a Kind in Wide-ranging Art Performance

Dr. Lee has seen numerous art shows. He was amazed by all that Divine Performing Arts had to offer, including its music, artistry, dances, backdrops, costumes, and the hosts.

Dr. Lee is a graduate of the University of Paris and studied chorus, vocal, and religious music.

He has grown fond of DPA's music and said, "The background music is well balanced with the plots in each scene. I can sense that they put in a lot of effort. I noticed that each musical composition flowed very naturally and smoothly into the next. This is what we who study music need to learn from DPA."

Moral Education

Dr. Lee also thinks that the Spectacular will influence moral education. "The DPA show presents morality through its music, art, drama, and dance. The audience can think about and accept the moral education inherent in the show besides enjoying the art. This should be beneficial to the younger generation."

Divine Performing Arts highlights moral values through compassion and beautiful forms of art. The audience can experience the essence of Chinese culture in its stories.

Dr. Lee was very moved by the show. He said, "Even a person like me, who is almost 60, is very moved. After seeing the show in Tainan, I had tears in my eyes. The show comes with so much unique essence. This is especially precious for people who are employed in the music discipline. This is why DPA is one of a kind."

Dr. Lee believes in the power of art and the profound influence it has on an audience. "The power of art is seamless and its influence is profound. I believe that, in the near future, the DPA show will bring changes that will gradually bring peace to mankind."
