On June 21, The Capital Youth Art Troupe--The Capital Youth Philharmonic Orchestra and The Capital Children Percussion Music Course Research Center launching ceremony was held on Beijing Royal School’s campus. BRS established the Art Troupe as an innovative, international and globally-connected elementary and middle school wind ensemble. Its purpose is to cultivate international talents imbued with Chinese and Western music culture, allowing music education to develop and to flourish in China, and to identify Beijing Royal School as the hub for training top international music talents.
On behalf of the school, Chief Supervisor of BRS campus Mr. Cen Jianjun expressed heartfelt congratulations on the establishment of the Capital Youth Philharmonic Orchestra. With such a first-class platform children of any age will be enlightened and nurtured by music, enabled to cultivate their emotions and to sharpen their wills, and enabled to purify their hearts and stimulate their imagination in an elegant musical and artistic environment.
BRS Campus Art Director Gui Ying provided a brief, overall introduction of the Art Troupe, which included the teaching faculty, developmental goals, cultivation and management. She expressed that all will work hard to build a world-class art troupe for our students. By using advanced international education resources and providing professional training designed to cultivate students' musical abilities, the goal of seamlessly meeting the entrance requirements of leading international music academies and top universities can be achieved simultaneously. Gui Ying noted the importance of art education by saying that, "Most children are initially inspired by music, and, no matter what carriers may they pursue in the future, music will bring them the joy of beauty and happiness. In the same sense, playing a musical instrument can develop our students’ divergent thinking, and exercise their own willpower and perseverance. To become a truly international talent, one must have an artistic upbringing."
The Art Troupe has hired national, professional orchestra musicians, who have substantial experience and solid theoretical foundation in music education, to be artistic advisors and professional teachers. In the future, the art troupe will undertake performances at major campus events, so that students can get more practice performing on stage for large audiences. The Art Troupe will perform at the campus Arts Festival, the New Year's Concert and various events as opportunities to perform arise. In addition, special concerts for the school's wind ensemble will be scheduled at the National Grand Theatre, the National Library Concert Hall, the Zhongshan Concert Hall and other music halls. Students will also be encouraged to participate in solo competitions at international and national art festivals, establishing BRS as a place that integrates music teaching, performance and creation.
Mr. Lin Chun Chi, Vice President of China Taiwan Wind Music Association and Artistic Director of China Taiwan Ji Yin Symphonic Wind Orchestra; and Mr. Tan Shen, trombone teacher of China Conservatory of Music and former chief trombone player of National Centre for the Performing Arts Orchestra, were present at the launching ceremony, serving as the Artistic Director and Conductor, and Director of the Capital Youth Philharmonic Orchestra, respectively. BRS school leadership also awarded letters of appointment to the Artistic Director, Orchestra Conductor, Director and Artistic Consultants during the ceremony.
Mr. Wang Guangfa, Chairman of Fazheng Group and General Principal of Beijing Royal School, wrapped up the event by expressing that the platform which BRS has created provides those students exhibiting musical aptitude with an opportunity for enlightenment, while also providing more intense professional training for students whose musical talents, potential and ambitions are already a known quantity. He believes that a person with national pride must be an artistically educated person, and that future international talents must also be artistically educated. We will provide world-class art education to the children in the capital city. The Capital Youth Philharmonic Orchestra will become the cradle of instrumental music for the children in the capital, and it will also be the future business card of the music culture of the Chinese urban youth and the platform of the world youth culture exchange.
