藝術節開幕音樂會  大提琴遇見國樂團  亞洲音樂元素與西方交響樂的新世界
本場音樂會是「2026台灣國際大提琴藝術節」與臺北市立國樂團備受矚目的合作。在這場盛大的音樂會中，四位來自法國、中國大陸、波蘭與日本的頂尖大提琴家將與國樂團洋溢生命力的聲響激盪交流。近年來，國樂團的曲目拓展相當迅速，許多新穎且撼動人心的新作及改編作品不斷湧現。這些作品因完美融合亞洲旋律與西方交響結構而備受讚譽，逐漸受到全球觀眾青睞。

​

音樂會中，數首精彩大提琴協奏曲將由當今樂壇最傑出的大提琴家們擔綱演出。臺灣作曲家王乙聿饒富絢麗色彩的大提琴協奏曲《聿想世界》，將由備受國際著名的中國大提琴家、2002年伊莉莎白大賽第二名陳亦柏演繹。

鍾耀光的《蒙古幻想曲》，則將由年輕的日本大提琴家北村陽詮釋。北村陽曾獲多個國際大賽獎項（如2024年安奈斯可國際大賽首獎及帕布羅・卡薩爾斯國際獎）。這兩首作品中，令人目不暇給的精湛技藝與抒情之美交織，將亞洲音樂元素與西方交響樂傳統完美地融為一體。

而西方作品也出現在本場曲目中，其中一個亮點便是西班牙作曲家薩拉沙泰的《流浪者之歌》，作品原為小提琴而作，現將由波蘭當代最卓越的青年大提琴家—2024年ARD國際大賽第二名得主克日什托夫．米哈爾斯基詮釋這首引人入勝、技巧高超的經典名作。

TWICF創辦人暨大提琴家簡碧青與臺北市立國樂團的淵源始於2019年，當時他們共同合作《臺灣狂想曲》大提琴與國樂團版。這首作品最初是瑞士作曲家法比安．穆勒為西方樂團創作，並由倫敦皇家愛樂管弦樂團錄製、索尼古典唱片發行。該作品由三首受臺灣民謠旋律和原住民歌謠啟發的狂想曲組成，展現了作曲家對臺灣豐富音樂遺產的深深敬仰，而臺灣也早已成為他的第二故鄉。本場音樂會中，由江賜良改編的大提琴與國樂團版《臺灣狂想曲》第一號及第三號，將由聲名卓著的2017年比利時伊莉莎白女王大賽大提琴首獎得主及布拉格之春國際音樂大賽首獎的法國大提琴家朱利安．拉斐爾呈現。

音樂會開場曲則是世界首演，同時也是法比安．穆勒在為西方樂團和歌劇院作曲多年後，第一次受邀為國樂團創作新曲，觀眾可以期待這首作品令人興奮的首次亮相！

Concert with four International Cello-stars & Taipei Chinese Orchestra TCO​

This concert marks a remarkable collaboration between the Taiwan International Cello Festival TWICF 2026 and the Taipei Chinese Orchestra (TCO). On this spectacular and varied concert, four of the most distinguished cellists of our time from France, China, Japan and Poland meet the vibrant sonic world of the traditional Chinese orchestra.

In recent years, the repertoire for Chinese orchestra has expanded significantly, with many new and exciting compositions and transcriptions. These works, often celebrated for their fusion of Asian melodies with Western symphonic structures, are increasingly being embraced by audiences worldwide. 

Among them are brilliant concertante works for cello, which will be performed in this exiting program by some of today's most remarkable cellists:

​

A World of Imagination, a colorful cello concerto by Taiwanese composer Wang Yi-Yu will be performed by world-renowned Chinese cellist and 2022 Queen Elisabeth Competition 2nd prize winner Yibai Chen. 

Mongolian Fantasy by Yiu-Kwong Chung will be interpreted by the highly talented young Japanese cellist and winner of several international competitions (a.o. 2024 Enescu International Competition 1st prize) Yo Kitamura. In both works, dazzling virtuosity meets lyrical beauty, as Asian musical elements seamlessly blend with Western symphonic traditions.

Western works have also found their way into the Chinese orchestra repertoire. One such highlight is the ever-popular Gypsy Airs, op.20 by Pablo de Sarasate, originally composed for violin. This captivating and virtuosic piece will be performed by one of today's most exceptional young cellists—2024 ARD Competition 2nd prize winner Krzysztof Michalski from Poland.

The artistic partnership between TWICF's founder, cellist Pi-Chin Chien and TCO first flourished in 2019 with the creation of a new version of Taiwan Rhapsody for cello and Chinese orchestra. Originally composed by Swiss composer Fabian Müller for Western orchestra, recorded with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in London for Sony Classical, the work consists of three rhapsodies inspired by Taiwanese folk melodies and indigenous chants. It reflects the composer's deep admiration for Taiwan's rich musical heritage—a country that has long become his second home. The rhapsodies No.1 & 3, arranged for Chinese orchestra by Simon Kong, will be performed by the outstanding French cellist and winner of Queen Elisabeth Competition 2017, Victor Julien-Laferrière.

The evening opens with a world premiere: After years of composing for Western orchestras and opera houses, Fabian Müller has received his first commission to write a work for Chinese orchestra. Audiences can look forward to this exciting debut!
