轉捩點樂團 Turning Point Ensemble

自介

自2003年首次公演後，擁有17名成員的 Turning Point Ensemble 轉捩點樂團已經成為溫哥華藝術場景中不可缺少的一員。無論是音樂家們精湛成熟的表演、節目策劃的創新，以及與其他藝術領域跨界的結合，所取得的成果皆已是眾所周知。
Turning Point Ensemble 曾被加拿大知名平面媒體 Georgia Straight 喬治亞海峽報評為「溫哥華最傑出的室內樂團」。該團由多位 BC 省最優秀的器樂演奏家組成，其使命為呈現一般音樂會上很難聽到的大型室內樂曲目，增進聽眾對過去百年來的音樂創作的瞭解和賞析，結合早期到現代的音樂，經由節目革新和傑出演出，促進加國與國際音樂作品的提昇。
透過錄音（已有三張正式錄製並發行專輯）、廣播、巡迴演出及與國際樂團合作，該團迅速地成為溫哥華藝術場景中一個最充滿活力的代表，並已成為加拿大最優秀的當代室內樂團之一，曾獲得加拿大2011年 Rio Tinto Alcan Performing Arts Award 表演藝術音樂類首獎於國內及國際間逐漸聲譽卓著。
轉捩點樂團的演出和對藝術界的貢獻已贏得無數讚賞和認可，正如評論家 John Keillor 對其之期許：「成為溫哥華樂壇中一塊經焠煉、具獨創與才華洋溢的音樂瑰寶」。

The Turning Point Ensemble is a large chamber ensemble (16 instrumentalists and conductor) recognized for its outstanding musicianship. Founded in 2002 by its musician members, Turning Point has a mandate to increase the understanding and appreciation of music composed during the past hundred years, the ensemble has built a strong reputation for linking seminal 20th century repertoire to contemporary works through thoughtful programming and innovative presentations. Uniquely and flexibly sized between a small chamber ensemble and a symphonic orchestra, Turning Point Ensemble presentations offer a symphonic palette with a chamber music sensibility. Turning Point Ensemble has released four CDs with critical acclaim, including the nomination for Best Classical Recording at the Western Canadian Music Award. The ensemble has toured across Canada twice, most recently in the fall of 2015 with a program of Canadian women composers. In addition, TPE has toured within British Columbia, most recently in 2015 spring, and has been invited to perform in prestigious festivals and series including the PuSh International Performing Arts Festival, New Music Concerts Toronto, ecm+ Montreal, groundswell Winnipeg, New Music Edmonton, MusicFest Vancouver, Vancouver International Jazz Festival (upcoming), and the Modulus Festival.
