簡介 INTRODUCTION 

打開經典:中樂遇上 Jazz——傳統旋律的當代改編之旅

由本地優秀音樂人組成的嘉迪音樂(KD Music)呈獻,《打開經典:中樂遇上 Jazz》以多首膾炙人口的傳統經典旋律為核心,透過爵士和聲、當代古典手法及世界節奏元素的注入,為這些樂曲賦予全新面貌。改編過程不僅保留原作的精神與美感,更讓觀眾以嶄新的聽覺角度,重新感受經典的永恆魅力。

音樂會特別設計現場示範環節,演奏家將以笛子、二胡、琵琶、中阮,原汁原味演繹傳統曲目,隨後即席展現如何將爵士節奏、和聲與律動逐步融入其中。透過原版與改編版的即時對比,觀眾將親身見證傳統旋律如何搖身一變,披上爵士的迷人色彩。

這是一場讓人放鬆心情的音樂會:放下平日壓力,走進爵士與中樂交織的現場,讓熟悉的旋律以意想不到的方式重現眼前,也讓我們一同探索傳統樂曲的無限可能!

 

Classics Unlocked: When Chinese Music Meets Jazz – A Journey from Tradition to Reinvention

Presented by KD Music, a vibrant local ensemble of talented musicians, “Classics Unlocked: When Chinese Music Meets Jazz” takes beloved traditional melodies and reimagines them through jazz harmonies, contemporary classical textures, and global rhythmic influences. The result preserves the soul of the originals while offering a fresh, vibrant listening experience, revealing new dimensions of timeless beauty.

The concert features a live demonstration segment: musicians first perform a traditional piece in its authentic form on Dizi, Erhu, Pipa, and Zhongruan, then show how jazz rhythms, harmonies, and grooves are layered in—transforming the familiar into something strikingly new. Through this side-by-side comparison, you’ll witness how ancient tunes take on a jazzy, contemporary character that feels both refreshing and full of possibility.

This is simply a concert to enjoy—no pressure, no classroom. Come, sit back, and let the cross-cultural sounds wash over you. Let the classics swing in ways you never expected, and discover that tradition can be wonderfully relaxing when it meets jazz.
