2023 The 11th Taiwan International Percussion Convention - Stay True. Embrace Change
After four years of waiting, the Taiwan International Percussion Convention has returned! The long silence of the world can no longer hold back the passion and excitement of percussionists.
In May 2023, hundreds of musicians from 12 groups across 10 countries will tour the entire Taiwan, beating to people's longing for music!
Among the large participating groups, in addition to the Ju Percussion Group, which has just honorably returned from the annual Percussive Arts Society International Convention (PASIC), Les Percussions de Strasbourg from France, the world's first percussion group, and the Ondekoza group from Japan inheriting the Yamato spirit, have also come to Taiwan to join the event. In terms of ensembles, there are various groups such as the Tremolo Ensemble from Israel, Quatuor Beat from France, Lucid Duo from Bulgaria/Poland, and Chien Chien Lu Jazz Sextet from USA, showing the diversity and creativity of percussion. Moreover, there are soloists such as the Drum Hime(princess) in Japan, Kanade Sato, the Japanese top young female drummer Senri Kawaguchi, the Greek marimba player Theodor Milkov who started the marimba revolution, the Poland marimba player Marta Klimasara, who has mentored many world champions, and the Hungary percussionist Dániel Janca, who's famous for his diverse style. These soloists will present the limitation that a single percussionist can achieve on stage. Additionally, after seven years of waiting, the "100-person Marimba Orchestra" will return to stage, to demonstrate their origins in this ever changing world, and provide an incredibly stirring and heart-touching performance!
