轉捩點樂團 Turning Point Ensemble

自介

自2003年首次公演后，拥有17名成员的 Turning Point Ensemble 转捩点乐团已经成为温哥华艺术场景中不可缺少的一员。无论是音乐家们精湛成熟的表演、节目策划的创新，以及与其他艺术领域跨界的结合，所取得的成果皆已是众所周知。
Turning Point Ensemble 曾被加拿大知名平面媒体 Georgia Straight 乔治亚海峡报评为「温哥华最杰出的室内乐团」。该团由多位 BC 省最优秀的器乐演奏家组成，其使命为呈现一般音乐会上很难听到的大型室内乐曲目，增进听众对过去百年来的音乐创作的了解和赏析，结合早期到现代的音乐，经由节目革新和杰出演出，促进加国与国际音乐作品的提升。
透过录音（已有三张正式录制并发行专辑）、广播、巡回演出及与国际乐团合作，该团迅速地成为温哥华艺术场景中一个最充满活力的代表，并已成为加拿大最优秀的当代室内乐团之一，曾获得加拿大2011年 Rio Tinto Alcan Performing Arts Award 表演艺术音乐类首奖于国内及国际间逐渐声誉卓著。
转捩点乐团的演出和对艺术界的贡献已赢得无数赞赏和认可，正如评论家 John Keillor 对其之期许：「成为温哥华乐坛中一块经淬炼、具独创与才华洋溢的音乐瑰宝」。

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.
