    北加州台灣會館7日在佛利蒙舉行記者會,公布「福爾摩沙之夢」音樂會詳情。台灣會館執行長黃美星表示,國立師範大學音樂系有六十多年歷史,是台灣最好的音樂院校之一。參加本次音樂會的國立師大交響及合唱樂團成員有兩百多人,盛況空前。其中首批成員當天已經抵達美國。台灣師大樂團將先在聖地牙哥和洛杉磯等地演出,灣區是他們此次訪美演出的最後一站。
    台灣會館理事長陳德輝表示,台灣會館自成立以來,最自豪的就是會館對人文的奉獻與付出。他指出,去年的音樂會成功舉行,今年請來有三十多年歷史的師大交響樂團,更讓大家振奮,相信一定會是一場傑出的表演。
    會館理事陳光博表示,台灣會館除了關心政治以外,更注重文化藝術發展;期望透過這次代表台灣音樂高水準音樂會,讓大家透過政治表面的亂象,看到台灣的進步,給大家新的印象。
    理事林典謨表示,台灣會館的宗旨是向美國介紹台灣文化。他指出,台灣的音樂人才正在不斷發展進步,希望透過音樂會向主流社會介紹台灣形象。
    台灣會館創會理事長張信行表示,感謝國立師大音樂家千里迢迢,來到美國展現台灣音樂的面貌,相信今年的音樂會一定能成功。
    黃美星介紹,參加本次音樂會的台灣國立師大交響樂團一百多位成員都是在校學生。合唱團的一百多位成員,除了學生之外,還有熱愛音樂的各界社會菁英。
