TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Director of the Austrian Office in Taipei Roland Rudorfer recapped some of the cultural events hosted by the organization last year, in an interview with Taiwan News.
Rudorfer, who became a diplomat in 1993, said the second half of 2020 was “a very busy time” despite the pandemic. As an example, he pointed to the two-day “Best of Ars Electronica” screening event in October.
An “Austria Vienna Cultural month” in partnership with Tainan City Government was held in the southern Taiwan city in November, featuring five music and film events. Rudorfer said a “Vienna Coffeehouse” event, in collaboration with Julius Meinl coffee, was held early November in Taipei and featured “classical music, a live baking demonstration of Viennese delicacies, a choir with Austrian and Taiwanese songs, and much more.”
