莊東杰 Tung-Chieh CHUANG

「如同他詮釋韋伯《魔彈射手》序曲一般，莊東傑在拉威爾的《達佛尼與克羅埃》中展現出優秀的音樂氛圍直覺。透過大膽的肢體動作將聲音轉化為幾乎可以觸摸到的形態。」
——《每日鏡報》（Der Tagesspiegel）

“As with Weber’s ‘Freischütz’ overture, Chuang proves himself as a maestro with a fine atmospheric instinct [Ravel’s ‘Daphnis et Chloé’], making the sound almost tangible with his far-reaching gestures.”

Since August 2021 Tung-Chieh Chuang has been Generalmusikdirektor of the Bochumer Symphoniker and Intendant of the Anneliese Brost Musikforum Ruhr.

In his fourth season in Bochum, Chuang continues the successful concert series "From the Heart" and presents works of great orchestral literature that are particularly close to him. Among the pieces to be heard are Strauss' Ein Heldenleben, Schumann’s ‘Spring Symphony’, Schubert’s ‘Unfinished Symphony, Shostakovich’s Fifth Symphony, Ravel’s ‘Daphnis et Chloé‘, and Mozart’s Requiem. During these concerts, Chuang will collaborate with renowned soloists such as Selina Ott, Vadim Gluzman, Martin Helmchen, Dominik Wollenweber as well as the RIAS Chamber Choir based in Berlin. Qigang Chen’s symphonic work ‘The Five Elements’ explores new sonic realms. In addition, ‘Lontano Doloroso’, a concerto for English horn and orchestra composed in 2023 by Christian Jost and commissioned by the Bochumer Symphoniker, will celebrate its German premiere.

In the 2024/25 season, Tung-Chieh Chuang makes his conducting debuts with the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra and the Philharmonie Zuidnederland. Previous engagements have taken him to the Deutschen Symphonie- Orchester Berlin, WDR Sinfonieorchester, SWR Symphonieorchester, NDR Radiophilharmonie, hr- Sinfonieorchester, Luzerner Sinfonieorchester, Tonkünstler-Orchester, Antwerp Symphony Orchestra, Danish National Symphony Orchestra, Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra, Oslo Philharmonic, BBC Symphony Orchestra, RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra, Royal Scottish National Orchestra, Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra, Taiwan Philharmonic, NCPA Orchestra, Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, Auckland Philharmonia, and Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra. This season he returns to the MDR-Sinfonieorchester, Dresdner Philharmonie, Die Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen, Lapland Chamber Orchestra, Sønderjylland Symphony Orchestra, Trondheim Symphony Orchestra, Tampere Philharmonic Orchestra, and Oviedo Filarmonía.

This young and up-and-coming conductor from Taiwan laid the foundation for his international career in 2015 by winning the International Malko Competition in Copenhagen. Before that, he had already won prizes at the Sir Georg Solti International Conducting Competition in Frankfurt, the Gustav Mahler Conducting Competition in Bamberg and the Jeunesses Musicales International Conducting Competition in Bucharest.

In 2010, Chuang received the Edwin B. Garrigues Fellowship of the Curtis Institute of Music. A year later in Philadelphia, he initiated the Curtis Japan Benefit Concert, donating all proceeds to the victims of the March 2011 earthquake through the Japanese Red Cross. In 2012, he launched the first orchestral ‘flashmob’ in Taiwan in his role as Principal Conductor of the National Taiwan University Symphony Orchestra.

Born into a family of professional musicians, Chuang learned to play the horn and the piano from an early age, giving his first public concert at the age of eleven. He continued his studies at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia and the Hochschule für Musik “Franz Liszt” Weimar. His mentors include Mark Gibson, Gustav Meier, Otto-Werner Mueller, and Nicolás Pasquet. The conductor resides with his family in Bochum.
