"Let's go again from measure 78," said Laureate Conductor Eliahu Inbal.
Behind this simple phrase lies countless attempts, adjustments, and a relentless pursuit of musical perfection. From preparations in the rehearsal hall to the nuanced interpretation of every note, the daily life of the Taipei Symphony Orchestra is filled with both challenges and joy.
Before 8:30 a.m., the rehearsal hall is already set and ready, awaiting the arrival of the musicians. Every detail, from the arrangement of instruments to the positioning of chairs, is meticulously planned. As the Laureate Conductor enters the hall, the music begins to unfold—each note imbued with deep emotion and untold stories.
This is more than just a performance; it is a musical miracle. Nearly a hundred musicians, through tireless effort and careful listening, bring together individual notes into moving symphonies that resonate throughout every corner of Taipei.
For over half a century, the Taipei Symphony Orchestra has continuously evolved—from a small ensemble of 30 official members to the current 80-strong orchestra. From practicing in an elementary school classroom to performing on the grand stages of cultural centers, their footprints are embedded across the city, breathing life into Taipei's musical landscape.
Let us experience this living symphony together, feel the allure of orchestral music, and witness the never-ending brilliance of the Taipei Symphony Orchestra!
