Taipei Music Academy & Festival - 2023 TMAF Orchestra Concert

 

Just like the incredible performances of the previous years, TMAF continues to explore the potential of young musicians through intensive coaching from the principals of leading orchestras and world-class musicians. The TMAF Orchestra will be led by Leonard SLATKIN performing ROSSINI's William Tell Overture, HINDEMITH's Symphonic Metamorphosis of Themes by Carl Maria von WEBER, and SIBELIUS' 2nd Symphony. The highly heralded tradition will continue, with faculty sitting next to the students demonstrating and giving them the most direct guidance, creating music together. As TMAF approaches its fifth anniversary, its mission remains the same: to bring together the world's masters to Taiwan, creating a musical environment of the highest standard, providing young musicians with the opportunity to learn and perform together with renowned musicians up close, and presenting an extraordinary annual event to the Taiwanese music aficionados.
