On April 29, 2006, the Pou Chen twin towers were constructed in Taichung City and one of the buildings is as Group’s new headquarter, locating adjacently to a traffic hub to be more facilitated for the integration of resources. Furthermore, the international lecture hall, on the B1 floor of the headquarter building with 278 seats, is for inviting kinds of performances to be revealed and encouraging community participation in central Taiwan.

Performances in the international lecture hall:

2008, the Esthetics Lecture Series on Jean-Francois Millet

The first opportunity to borrow the Millet collection from Musee d'Orsay was granted to Taiwan. The widely-known oil paintings with Millet’s most representatives, The Gleaners and The Angelus, were exhibited in National Museum of History, Taipei, Taiwan. In order to have access to the exploration of Millet’s masterpieces, the Foundation invited the deputy director of National Museum of History, Pauline Kao and Professor Kuo Bo-zhou of National Taipei University of Education to lecture on the aesthetics of Millet exclusively for residents in central Taiwan.

2006-2008, the YY Music Competitions

The YY music competition came into being to promote the aesthetic education. In 2006, the 1st competition was positioned for high school and college students’ clarinet and flute competitions. In 2008, the Foundation made the adjustment, for more extensively participating, to be the violin competition for elementary and junior high students. The gratis event was for making children’s dreams come true, and the scholarship and award offering was to be supported. Also, the champions’ united concert was achieved for encouraging the memorable performances. For the Foundation, the favorite view of the competition is to advocate regularly holding competitive activities.
