Composing for Mixed Ensemble of Chinese and Western Instruments
《水墨藝術與新音樂》中西混合室內樂創作交流項目
In collaboration with the Hong Kong University (HKU) and M+ Museum, Hong Kong, this creative exchange project aims to explore the aesthetic commonality and discover the innovative potential of Ink Art and New Music. Through lectures, mentorships, commissions, and performances, this multi-phase series hopes to connect creative, knowledgeable, and curious minds and encourage meaningful conversations and new compositions.
全新系列《水墨藝術與新音樂》由美國巴德音樂學院、M+博物館、香港大學音樂系與繆思樂季共同籌劃，是一個跨領域及跨文化創意教育項目。匯聚作曲家、學者、藝術家、作曲系學生、及學生樂團，歡迎大家參與一系列講座、工作坊、學術會議、及首演音樂會，一起探索水墨藝術和現代音樂的美學異同，開拓欣賞中西藝術的視野。
首階段將於2021年9月展開，四場網上講座請來M+水墨策展人馬唯中博士、華南師範大學陳仰平博士、香港大學音樂系陳慶恩教授，以及天津茱莉亞學院沈逸文博士主講，指導四位選自美國巴德音樂學院和香港大學音樂系的作曲學生，以水墨畫為靈感，為中西混合室內樂譜出新作。公眾人士將可透過登記全程旁聽。
(第二及第三階段活動包括學術交流會議及工作坊，作曲學生及導師以水墨畫為靈感的多首新作將由巴德音樂學院中西混合室內樂團進行首演。詳情將於2022春季公佈。)
The project will begin in September 2021 with four virtual lectures, conducted in a masterclass style, on composing for mixed ensembles inspired by ink art. Dr. Lesley Ma (M+, Hong Kong), Dr. Yeung-ping Chen (South China Normal University), Prof. Chan Hing-yan (HKU), and Dr. Yiwen Shen (The Tianjin Juilliard School) will each deliver a lecture to their mentees, four outstanding composition students selected from Bard and HKU. Members of the public are invited to attend the virtual lectures alongside the mentees.
There will be academic symposiums in the second phase, and culminating concerts in the third phase when newly created musical works will receive their world premieres given by Bard’s Student Ensemble of Chinese and Western instruments. More details to be announced in Spring 2022.
