詳細介紹

「傳統音樂」為與一個民族的社會生活及其文化、歷史有密切淵源關係的文化現象。南管與北管皆為臺灣傳統音樂的一大系統，也是一種群體性音樂。南管是流行於沿海地區經濟發達的城市，是一種具有藝術內涵的休閒生活；北管的曲目分佈比南管更廣，演出形式也較為複雜，一般民眾容易於民俗活動中接觸到鼓吹類音樂及戲劇表演為多。近年來由於社會變遷均面臨著失傳的隱憂。

傳統音樂學系肩負著保存、傳承與推廣的重要使命，長期以戶外假日音樂會的輕鬆方式，除顯現南管與北管音樂的本土與在地性，更貼近一般普羅大眾。讓傳統音樂藉由新一代的演出者，將南北管樂曲的動聽之處，用小而美的演奏方式，為他們譜出新的生命。

Traditional music is a cultural phenomenon that is closely tied to a society's daily life, culture, and history. Performed in a group, Nanguan and Beiguan are the two main traditional music forms of Taiwan. Nanguan was popularized in the more prosperous coastal cities of Taiwan, and was practiced as a form of leisure. On the other hand, the scope of Beiguan is broader, and its performance formats more complex. People are more likely to experience Beiguan’s percussion and wind instrument music and theatrical performance at folk activities. TNUA’s Department of Traditional music will perform Beigun and Nanguan in a casual outdoor setting to emphasize the local and daily life aspects of these art forms. A new generation of musicians will perform Nanguan and Beiguan in a small yet elegant concert format that draws out their charm.
