The members of Tan’a Youth Choir come from Bunun villages, one of the Taiwan indigenous groups, in Nantou County, Taiwan. Tan’a in Bunun language means listening. We try to integrate traditional ceremonial music with the art of contemporary chorus. With that, we are able to carry on the memory of the land and culture. The choir is led by Conductor, Yushan Chang, and Artistic Supervisor, Mei-Fang Shing. The choir members’ sincere and clear singing voices have often been referred to as “voice with souls” and have won Golden Awards in several international chorus competitions. Through creative arrangement and multi-layered vocal harmony, we are able to present the uniqueness of Bunun music. We not only carry on the traditional culture, but are also explorers of the music innovation. Our dream is that the world would hear the beauty of Taiwan indigenous music through our singing.

The schools were destroyed by the 921 earthquake in Hsinyi district, Nantou. The students are mostly Bunun which is one of the indigenous groups in Taiwan and is famous for their Pasibutbut (also known as eight-part polyphony). Over the years, she has represented Rosyclouds Foundation in many performances. She was also interviewed by news media for her long-term dedication to aboriginal children's music education. One of her recent achievements was leading Tan’a Youth Choir and Sinapalan Elementary School in winning the national championship in folklore division form 2016 to 2025 .
