This event is part of ‘Ink Art and New Music’ Creative Exchange Project
這場講座為《水墨藝術與新音樂》中西混合室內樂創作交流項目之一

An essential aspect of music composition (and, for that matter, of all creative work) is the capacity to rest in the unknown and the unresolved, using it as raw material for creation. When dealing with an ensemble of Western and Chinese instruments, two immediate questions arise, how to reconcile the differences between the two traditions, or is reconciliation indeed possible or not? In this lecture-demonstration, Professor Chan will share his thoughts on these issues by drawing musical examples from his own compositions.

音樂創作或任何創作的一個重要面向是創作人能否安於未知和不確定，並將其化作創意的泉源。處理中西樂器合奏得面對兩個直接問題：如何調和兩種傳統之間的差異，又或者調和是否真的可能？陳教授會在此示範講座，從自己的作品中擷取例子，分享他對這些議題的看法。
