为最新关于时代佳艺爵士乐系列的活动信息请查一下活动预告


The Time Arts Jazz Series showcases the finest musicians from around the world in the heart of the Middle Kingdom’s top university. In its short history, the Series has built up a steady following of media attention, partners, sponsors, and audiences.

The Series aims to introduce to a wider audience the various forms of jazz and related music. The Series is devoted to countering the general impression that jazz forms are inaccessible to the casual listener: We believe that quality music of all kind attracts an audience, and that jazz is no exception.
 

  在中国最优秀的大学之一的北京大学举办的“时代佳艺爵士乐系列”音乐会,向人们展示世界上最优秀的音乐家。这一活动开展短短一年来,已经得到了媒体、各合作伙伴、赞助商和听众的高度关注。

  “时代佳艺爵士乐系列”音乐会的宗旨就是向更广大的观众介绍不同形式的爵士音乐以及相关的音乐形式。该系列活动就是要努力使观众扭转这样一个观念,即爵士乐队普通观众来说是深不可测的。我们相信,各类高质量的音乐形式一定能吸引观众,爵士乐也不例外。

  “时代佳艺爵士乐系列”活动始于2005年11月在北大讲堂举办地《“游女吟”美国文化之源音乐会》,由北京大学百周年纪念讲堂和北京时代佳艺文化传播有限公司共同发起创建。其最初理念来自于创建于1993年“北京国际爵士乐集萃”(即“北京国际爵士乐节”),此爵士乐系列活动的策划人蒋山先生曾是当时“爵士乐节”的发起人之一,当年整个活动得到了欧美十余家驻华使馆的鼎力支持,在北京红极一时。

The Venues 场地

Peking University Hall, an international-standard 2100-seat theatre -- one of Beijing’s biggest -- is an ideal venue for the Series, with good sight-lines and high-quality sound, and remains the Series’ main venue. Students from Peking University and other area schools have a long history of regular attendance at events on campus; they make up a bulk of the audience, but music fans from across the city also attend. The Series, like other events at Peking University Hall, keeps ticket prices low enough to enable students to afford to attend – the student segment of the audience is an essential one; no student’s education is complete without some kind of musical education. We have seen the effect that music has on students, who have had little or no experience with jazz: They have proven both eager to attend and among the warmest of audiences. Audiences at Series performances thus far have been comprised of a mix of students and non-students, locals and overseas residents. As the Series brings more quality artists, the venue’s reputation as a great setting for jazz will only grow. Peking University Hall is the primary venue for the Series.

  北京大学百周年纪念讲堂,是一座有着2100个座位、具有国际标准的剧院,是举办“爵士乐系列”活动的理想场所,这里拥有良好的视角和高品质的音响效果。北京大学以及周边众多大专院校的学生有着参加和欣赏各类校园文化活动的传统,他们形成了一大群固定的观众群体,同时,北京城其他地方的观众也积极踊跃前往观赏。犹如北京大学百周年纪念讲堂举办的其他活动一样,“爵士乐系列”活动坚持低票价,以吸引更多的青年观众,这里的大学生构成了各种演出活动的观众主体。没有音乐教育形式,就没有完整的学生教育。我们已经看到了这样一个效果,就是音乐对学生们的影响,他们以往对爵士乐知之不多或一无所知。这也证明了,他们渴望前来观赏音乐会并成为最热情的观众。如今,“爵士乐系列”活动的观众涵盖了大学生、校外观众,以及市民和海外观众。随着“爵士乐系列”活动引进更多的高水平的艺术家,北京大学百周年纪念讲堂作为爵士乐的最佳演奏场所的名气也与日俱增。

Rebuilt in 1409 to replace the Yuan Dynasty structure initially in its place, the Imperial Granary predates the Forbidden City by ten years, and remains the only surviving granary of its kind. Imperial granaries were vital crop storage locations for the imperial household. Through its history, the Imperial Granary has witnessed 2 dynasties, 24 emperors, the fall of KMT and the rise of CCP. In 2001 the structure was granted the title of Key Cultural Relics of the State.

Currently, the Granary hosts private events and weekly traditional Kunqu Opera performances.

  北京最具文化与历史特色的 皇家粮仓,如同欧洲的古老城堡,以此作为爵士音乐会的表演场所,效果和意义非同凡响。

  皇家粮仓于明永乐七年(1409年) 在元代北太仓的基础上始建,比故宫年长10岁。迄今已历经600年风雨,俯瞰明清24代君王,见证民国与1949年后的全部京都历史。皇家粮仓,1984年被公布为北京市重点文物保护单位;2001年被列为全国重点文物保护单位。目前,是中国仅存、规模最大、现状最为完好的皇家仓廒。皇家粮仓,与故宫、长城、胡同、四合院等诸多历史遗迹一样成为历史古都、文化北京的城市标签。

Concerts in the Imperial Granary are a part of the Jazz Peking Series.

The Forbidden City Concert Hall  was built in 1942 and renovated in 1999. Located within the grounds of the Forbidden City complex, the FCCH is Beijing’s premier concert hall. The Hall also boasts one of China’s four pipe organs. The auditorium seats just over 1400 people.

FCCH is the venue of choice for the concert seasons of the China Philharmonic Orchestra and the Beijing Symphony Orchestra. The hall has presented numerous maestros, orchestras, PRC first performances and art events including the Beijing Music Festival and the China International Piano Competition to the Chinese public. FCCH offers over 300 concerts every year, including western classical music, traditional Chinese music, world music, jazz, semi-staged opera and dance.
 

  中山公园音乐堂始建于1942年,1999年4月重张开业。音乐堂是紫禁城建筑群的一部分,被海内外音乐人士誉为“中国古代园林中的音乐明珠”。中山公园音乐堂是一座专业交响乐音乐厅,舞台宽22米,深14米,舞台后方安装的美国奥斯汀管风琴是国内仅有的四架管风琴之一。观众厅有座位1419个,一层设有座位833个,含5个包厢,二层设座位586个。此外,音乐堂还拥有一座可容纳150人的小型电影厅、200人的会议厅、及可接待60人的贵宾厅。

  音乐堂是中国最好的两家交响乐团——中国爱乐乐团和北京交响乐团音乐季的演出场地,也是北京国际音乐节、中国国际钢琴比赛的演出场地,每年演出西方古典音乐、中国传统民乐、世界音乐、爵士乐、现代舞等演出300余场。音乐堂有自己的演出制作公司和电脑售票网络。
