◆ Tour Singing of [Delivering the Good Songs to Schools]

Cooperation partner: Cantare Singers

PLANET is committed to the inheritance of cultural and artistic education. In 2004, PLANET supported the establishment of Cantare Singers. It has been 21 years since the launch of the "Delivering the Good Songs to Schools" campaign in 2006. PLANET has spread various good songs, including Chinese and foreign famous songs, operas, traditional ballads, and campus songs, to young students and the general public.

"Cantare" is Italian, meaning "Sing! Sing!". This name appropriately reflects the original intention and spirit of the Cantare Singers - adhering to the concept of continuously singing good songs from music textbooks to the next generation of students. PLANET hopes to make students fall in love with different forms of music, narrow the distance between children and classical music and bring the National Concert Hall into the school venues to make children directly experience and feel the beauty of choir and the penetrating power of music.

Expansion of influence – Turning Out 3000 Public Welfare CDs – [Eternal Songs]

With the support of PLANET, Cantare Singers came out the album “Eternal Songs” made in 3000 pieces of CDs for public welfare, which were distributed free of charge during the interactive Q&A with children through tour performances on every campus.

This is the record of the achievements of Cantare Singers after years of public welfare singing. During the recording process, a group of people devoted themselves to their ideals, regardless of payment, and contributed their expertise, effort and time, and constantly pondered and made revisions only for the purpose of preventing classic folk songs from disappearing in our generation.

Expansion of influence – Documentary Film《Sing!! Sing!! Cantare》

Coming up the 20th anniversary in 2024, a featured documentary film “Sing!! Sing!! Cantare” was directed by Zhang Lidong who won the "Chinese Literary and Art Association Literary Medal". The film highlights Cantare’s performances at various campuses, influencing a new generation to become interested in classical, acapella and modern pop musical scores. It was publicly screened at the “2024 Mirror of Life Film Festival.”

The film captures the hardship and journey of the Cantare Group over the past 19 years. With the support from Christine Hsu, Chief Sustainability Officer of PLANET, it gave them the motivation to continue to perform to this day.

Expansion of influence - Documentary public screening at the 2024 Mirror of Life Film Festival

The festival is organized by the World Media Educational Association, with the goal of using film to invigorate life and cultivate humanity through art. The documentary film “Sing!! Sing!! Cantare” has been screened on July 9, 2024. Christine Hsu, Vice President and the Chief Sustainability Officer of PLANET Technology, served as the post-screening speaker, engaging with the audience and sharing insights.

◆ Music Literacy Cultivation

Cooperation partner: Pitou Junior High School

As a son of Pitou Township, Changhua County, PLANET’s Chairman Chen upholds the concept of gratitude for the source of benefit and a sense of responsibility to give back to his hometown. Since 2010, he has sponsored the Pitou Junior High School Wind Band in Changhua County to support the school in purchasing and repairing musical instruments and hiring music teachers. This has allowed the children who were originally unfamiliar with musical notes to attend weekly club courses and even participate in competitions before graduation.

For 15 years, PLANET has enabled over 1,000 children to learn a musical talent and skill and thereby cultivated their musical literacy and enhanced their cultural heritage.

◆ Taiwan Classic Music Promotion

Cooperation partner: OneSong Orchestra

The "OneSong Orchestra" established in 2017 is aimed at playing original works and Taiwanese imagery by Taiwanese composers, interpreting and promoting the popularization of Taiwanese classical music in the form of classical instruments and making the world aware of "Taiwan classical music".

In 2023, by taking advantage of the Company's 30th anniversary and adhering to its consistent support for artistic and cultural development philosophy, PLANET chose to initiate its first cooperation with the OneSong Orchestra in the form of a "concert" and subsequently supported the purchase of hardware equipment.

From 2024 to the present, it has continuously supported the operations and various activities of the OneSong Cultural and Creative Base. In 2025, it sponsored the biennial "Crazy for Taiwan Concert," supporting the OneSong Orchestra's cross-disciplinary innovation. By combining musical performances with picture book storytelling, it deeply presents local culture, spreads the beauty of Taiwan's popular classic movements, and works together to inherit Taiwanese musical culture.

◆ Promotion of the Inheritance of Recitation Songs

Cooperation partner: Taiwan Nian-Ge Cultural Center, Artist: Yu-Ti Wu (Taiwan Southern-Min Dialect Storytelling Artist)

Nian-Ge is a unique form of Taiwanese spoken-singing art, performed solo or by multiple artists, accompanied by instruments such as the yueqin, daguangxian, xiao, flute, and traditional percussion. It presents stories to the audience through a blend of narrative and music. The content often centers on traditional tales, folklore, or moral teachings. As time has progressed, this traditional cultural art form has gradually faded from daily life. PLANET and Master Yu-Ti Wu aim to revive this important yet declining recitative tradition, making it more visible, appreciated, and embraced by the public.

【II. Traditional Opera / Modern Dance】

◆ Traditional Chinese Opera Heritage and Modern Dance Innovation

Cooperation partner: Contemporary Legend Culture and Arts Foundation (Hsing Legend Youth Theatre / Tai Gu Tales Dance Theatre)

Establishing a Cultural and Creative Environment – Preserving Historical Sites and a Place for Sustainable Inheritance of Arts and Culture

Wu Hsing-kuo, the founder of the Contemporary Legend Theatre, established the “Hsing Legend Youth Theatre” to encourage young people to join the performative group by integrating traditional opera with modern theater art.

To protect the traditional Peking Opera performances and cultivate talents, PLANET supports the theater by investing in a new generation of artists to preserve the traditional art form.

From 2022, PLANET has collaborated with the Contemporary Legend Theatre when they prepare for a long-time operation at the Banqiao Broadcasting Station, a municipal historic site, providing a place for outstanding artists to practice and continue to preserve traditional art and culture.
