Chin-Ai Music: the Sound of Family

Chin ai Music, the first indigenous string orchestra in Taiwan, established in 2008. Most members are from Tayal and Sedeq tribes. 14 years on, all the members grew up together and their common language is music. In 2017 we participated in the Summa cum laude international youth music festival in Vienna and won the first prize in the string orchestra category. One of the judge, an Austrian composer Mr. Pointner commented, "your music is very unique and long lost in Europe. It’s the sound of a family".

Making our own Music of Taiwan

Apart from playing, we also compose. We’ve composed and published over 60 pieces in the past 3 years. We bear the root of indigenous tradition and transformed into new form. Our performances come in different forms, from quintet (2 violins, viola, cello and bass), ensemble to string orchestra. We play a wide range of pieces from classical, contemporary classical, indigenous ancient tune and world music.

We hope through our own music, we will have our own voice, and it will become the sound of this generation of Taiwan. We hope the world will hear us, the sound of family, the sound of Taiwan.
