Formosan Society for Performing Arts Inc. (FOSPA) is a non-profit, non-religious cultural organization. It was founded in 2006 by a group of Taiwanese Americans who share a love for music and a love for their homeland Taiwan. The mission of this organization is to promote cultural exchange and to provide a new stage for the young musicians.
To achieve these goals, the Formosan Society established the New York Formosa Chorus (NYFC). The chorus practices every Thursday evening at Union Church in Queens. Despite being only recently founded, the chorus has made several well received public performances in Queens, Long Island, Manhattan, New Jersey and Connecticut as well as a Lincoln Center Alice Tully performance on July 11, last year for the celebration of Glory Star. The chorus conductor, Chiyi Chen, is on the faculty in the music department of Princeton seminary. A graduate of Westminster college where she studied conducting, she is devoted in promoting Taiwanese and Asian music.
