1. 《華府2018年美國獨立紀念日大遊行》

*  華府鄉親大家好，

每年一次的美國獨立紀念日大遊行，我們台美人近年都有參與，今年參加的意義更加重要，如榮春兄說的—
(值此)"美台關係加溫之際, 為我們祖國台灣和台美人發聲. 僅僅有我們“台美人”遊行隊伍,特別是在中國遊行隊伍也同時在7月4日的遊行中出現的對比下, 就會自然地向全世界表明，台灣並不屬於中國，而是「台灣,中國一邊一國」的實況。"

希望有更多的台美人同鄉報名參加遊行的隊伍，以壯 大 台灣 和台美人 的聲勢。欲報名的鄉親請與榮春兄 聯絡(Rong C. Shieh電話：703-356-6420)
謝謝！

2. 《美國獨立節烤肉及音樂會》 - Independence Day Celebrations & BBQ

Date/Time: Wednesday, July 4th, 2018; 4:00 p.m. to midnight

Location:  Gilbert Wang’s home (608 Seventh Street, SW, Washington, DC 20024)

親愛的華府台灣鄉親:  平安! 大家好!

美國獨立節在美國公認為最重要國定紀念日。 為什麼最重要? 每個人感受不一，回答當然不同。我的感受是，依照華府台美人社區三十年前建立的新傳統，這一天是鄉親們相聚在同鄉王能祥、薛惠美、Gilbert Wang家一起烤肉，吃點心，話家常，關心國事天下事，看放煙火，吃消夜的好日子。今年主廚請到童麗珠大師母。吃烤肉、吃點心下午四時開始。
今年節目，除了鄉親相聚一起烤肉，吃點心，話家常，關心國事天下事，看煙火，吃消夜，還加上兩個特別節目。一個是:  音樂家黃明哲(澤)演唱及蔡明憲演講。時間排在四點開始。黃明哲今年應美東夏令會邀請，專程從台灣飛來美國表演。蔡明憲也應美東夏令會邀請，專程從台灣飛來美國演講。 他們預定四點以前趕到王家和大家見面，見面後立即表演及演講。 第三位來賓是蔡明峰。蔡明峰是TaiwanUS.Net的老闆，當天活動將可能上鏡頭。另一節目是，參觀華府新遊樂區， 叫做 District Wharf，又叫Southwest Waterfront， 位於王家向南100公尺到200公尺地方。遊樂 District Wharf，沒有時間限制，一大早就可以來，又可以玩到半夜。沒有年齡限制，小孩、青年、老年、單身、夫妻均宜，男女戀愛中尤佳。王家位於L’Enfant Plaza地鐵站沿第七街南行200公尺。 請貴鄉親勿失良機，踴躍邀友參加。欲知詳情，或交通協助，請撥(202) 554-4314 或(202)479-0744 (交通接送，請洽華府教會陳慧玲小姐)。


Dear English-speaking Friends:  May Peace and Joy be with you!

As you may be aware, on Independence Day (Fourth of July), there is a famous tradition in Washington, that is, everybody comes out  to National Mall for wild celebrations: Watching parade, listening to music, watching Independence Day fireworks, etc. A second tradition is established recently:  Cookout with Gilbert Wang at his home (608 7th St., SW, Washington, DC 20024), beginning 4:00 p.m. You are cordially invited for both. The food at Gilbert’s is super.   And you should not miss.
This year, there is a third feature:  Visiting Washington, DC’s new hit, The District Wharf, only a quarter mile from Gilbert’s home.  The District Wharf is a new addition to the booming Washington city. It features in greatly improved waterfront, remodeled fish market, water taxi service, music, and tens of affordable restaurants, including ice cream stores.   You certainly would like to see, to feel, and to enjoy for yourself, your friends, and your family. Ask Gilbert for more. Call him at (202) 413-4235.

6. 《華府臺灣同鄉會--2018 七月人物專訪- 音樂家陳孜怡專訪》-  Interview Archive with Tzu-yi Chen - Pianist

Pianist Tzu-yi Chen's musical philosophy and life
Written by: Yu-Chen Tsai
Translated by: Patrick McCurry, Michelle Eng and Tzu-yi Chen

During her February this year "228 Memorial Concert" at Taiwanese Presbyterian Church in D.C., the notes of the Firebird Suite circled at the fingertips with pianist Tzu-yi Chen’s virtuoso touch, just like the plot described by the Russian composer Stravinsky. A full-house audience at Washington, D.C.’s Taiwanese Presbyterian Church completely followed the composer’s storyline. Their heartbeats were dancing with the wizard and got lost with the melody of the beautiful lullaby. Until the last chord ended with the bright glissando flying like the firebird to the sky, the whole audience was astonished with a few seconds silence, and rejoiced with thunderous applause.

<鋼琴家陳孜怡的音樂哲思與人生>

         撰文: 蔡佑晨
二零一八年，二二八紀念音樂會，火鳥在鋼琴家陳孜怡飛快移動的指尖，飛舞盤旋，如同俄國作曲家史特拉文斯基描述的情節，台美教會裡滿滿的聽眾，隨著火鳥的煉獄之舞，以及優美的催眠曲，心情高低起伏，如癡如醉，直至最後一個音符落下，全場靜默了幾拍，只剩下自己的心跳，然後如雷的掌聲響起。孜怡的音樂，牽引你的情緒，緊抓你的注意力，她用琴音告訴你動人的故事。"把音符彈到正確"與"感動人心"之間的差別在哪裡?很幸運地逮到採訪她的機會，我迫不及待想要從專家的口中得到解答。孜怡師大附中畢業就進入法國國立巴黎高等音樂學院就讀。沒錯，就是幾年前超紅日劇"交響情人夢"裡，野田妹和千秋學長一起"嘣啾，嘣啾"的全球頂尖音樂教育殿堂。跟我對法國"浪漫"，"隨興"的想像大相逕庭的是，法國古典音樂教育是相當一板一眼，以嚴謹出名的。...More
