In this year's Islands in the Wind, EnCello engages with the concept of the island not as a fixed geography, but as a fluid node within a network of sound. Through unseen currents, we explore how culture travels, transforms, and takes root.
Featuring our ensemble of seasoned professionals and rising students, this performance bridges mentorship, a diverse musical tapestry, and cultural exchange. Our journey spans the globe: from the wind-swept Scottish Highlands (The Gael, Skye Boat Song, Scotland The Brave), through bold cinematic landscapes (How to Train Your Dragon, Titanic, Cape No. 7), to the heart of Taiwanese nostalgia and contemporary reflection (New Endless Love, The Forgotten Time, Lukang, the little town).
Let the cello be the wind that carries you.
EnCello Toronto is all about bringing people together through music. We’re a cello ensemble that combines performances with innovative music education. Our focus is on creating a space where professional musicians and apprentices can collaborate, learn, and grow together. It’s not just about the music—it’s about connecting people, creating opportunities and building a community.
在今年藝術節引領下,EnCello 將「島嶼」視為流動的對話——它不再是孤立坐標,而是網絡中充滿活力的節點。《島嶼漫遊》以此為靈感,探索文化如何跨越疆界、在流動中落地生根;透過隱形洋流,傳遞音樂共鳴。
本場演出由音樂家與學員並肩共演,連結師徒傳承、多元樂章與文化交流。音樂旅程跨越洲際:從風起雲湧的蘇格蘭高地《The Gael》、《Skye Boat Song》、《Scotland The Brave》、氣勢磅礴的電影世界《馴龍高手》、《鐵達尼號》、《海角七號:無樂不作》,最終抵達台灣懷舊經典與當代思索的核心《新不了情》、《被遺忘的時光》、《鹿港小鎮》。
讓大提琴化作那陣風,乘載著你,航向音樂的彼方。
EnCello Toronto 致力於透過音樂凝聚人心。我們是一個大提琴合奏團,結合演出與創新的音樂教育,打造一個專業音樂家與學生們可以共同合作演出、學習與成長的空間。
我們的核心不僅是音樂,更是關於人與人之間的連結、創造機會,以及建立一個充滿支持與活力的社群。
