초록
In the contemporary classical music world, there are many distinguished East Asian musicians, and many music students from East Asia study abroad to pursue their degrees in the United States or Europe. How do the different cultures, education systems, and environments encountered in these situations affect an Asian musician’s growth as a classical musician? Classical musicians can encounter a diverse range of cross-cultural experiences while performing, singing, writing and conducting music. For example, while playing and rehearsing together in an orchestra, they may discuss music with individuals from several other cultures. This work therefore seeks to address the question of how Asian classical musicians can express freely their own musical ideas through Western classical music. To approach the many complicated issues surrounding the idea of Asian identity in the context of Western classical music, it is necessary to consider conceptualizations of East Asian ethnic, cultural, and national identity, which involves a discussion of how Asian traditions have interfaced with classical music historically. This inquiry leads to an examination of the complicated backgrounds of successful East Asian orchestral and solo performers, who invoke their Eastern origins while playing music derived from Western cultural traditions. Similarly, many successful Asian / Asian American / Asian European composers write in Western idioms but also incorporate “national” folk or traditional elements from Asia. One of the most productive ways of inspecting the origins of these complicated evocations of Asian identity within Western classical music, then, is to consider the education systems that produced these performers and composers. The educational journey of nearly all successful East Asian musicians turns out to involve a combination of instruction that conforms to the traditions of their home countries along with extensive experiences in Western musical educational systems, often at the postgraduate level.
Abstract
In the contemporary classical music world, there are many distinguished East Asian musicians, and many music students from East Asia study abroad to pursue their degrees in the United States or Europe. How do the different cultures, education systems, and environments encountered in these situations affect an Asian musician’s growth as a classical musician? Classical musicians can encounter a diverse range of cross-cultural experiences while performing, singing, writing and conducting music. For example, while playing and rehearsing together in an orchestra, they may discuss music with individuals from several other cultures. This work therefore seeks to address the question of how Asian classical musicians can express freely their own musical ideas through Western classical music. To approach the many complicated issues surrounding the idea of Asian identity in the context of Western classical music, it is necessary to consider conceptualizations of East Asian ethnic, cultural, and national identity, which involves a discussion of how Asian traditions have interfaced with classical music historically. This inquiry leads to an examination of the complicated backgrounds of successful East Asian orchestral and solo performers, who invoke their Eastern origins while playing music derived from Western cultural traditions. Similarly, many successful Asian / Asian American / Asian European composers write in Western idioms but also incorporate “national” folk or traditional elements from Asia. One of the most productive ways of inspecting the origins of these complicated evocations of Asian identity within Western classical music, then, is to consider the education systems that produced these performers and composers. The educational journey of nearly all successful East Asian musicians turns out to involve a combination of instruction that conforms to the traditions of their home countries along with extensive experiences in Western musical educational systems, often at the postgraduate level.
