Old Songs, New Year 今晚老派一點 | 2026 LunarFest Performance

From the fresh folk songs of the 1970s, to the diverse developments of the 1980s, and the peak of Mando pop in the 1990s, Van Lefan revives and reinterprets beloved hits from each era, breathing new life into these cross-generational melodies. Through this performance, Van Lefan reconnects with her own cultural roots, and hopes this concert will inspire young Canadian musicians to embrace creating in their mother tongue.

The event will also feature Josie Chang, founder of Taiwan’s renowned Vietnamese kitchen “petit été” (Little Summer) and an international culinary practitioner. She will present uniquely styled Taiwanese-Vietnamese fusion dishes, where cross-cultural flavours spark exciting new sensations on the palate and awaken memories of different cultures and generations.

Let’s kick it back old school with some nostalgic tunes paired with imaginative culinary experiments, as we come together to celebrate a meaningful and truly unique Lunar New Year.

七〇年代的清新民歌，八〇年代的多元發展，九〇年代的流行音樂巔峰，樂凡將復刻翻唱不同時期的華語金曲，重新演繹跨世代的旋律，賦予經典新的生命。藉由演唱華語音樂，樂凡重新連結自己的文化，透過音樂會也期望持續激勵加拿大年輕音樂人，重拾母語創作的熱情。

除了在音樂中聽見世代的連結之外，現場特別邀請來自台灣、知名越南料理廚房「小夏天」創辦人暨跨國界料理實踐者Josie Chang，帶來獨具風格的台灣與越南fusion料理，跨文化碰撞激發味蕾上的全新刺激，從美食喚起不同文化與世代的記憶。

今晚，來點老派一點的音樂饗宴，以及改變想像的味覺實驗，共同慶祝這個深具意義、與眾不同的農曆新年。
