艾薩-佩卡．沙隆年

首席指揮暨藝術顧問

沙隆年1958年出生於赫爾辛基，從西貝流士音樂院畢業，25歲時因緣際會指揮一曲由英國愛樂樂團所演奏的馬勒第三號交響曲，自此於國際上嶄露頭角。他於1992-2009年間擔任洛杉磯交響樂團音樂總監長達17年之久，2008年受邀擔任愛樂管絃樂團首席指揮至今，現兼任該團藝術顧問，他同時也與世界一流樂團合作、擔任客座指揮，如紐約愛樂、巴伐利亞廣播交響樂團、芝加哥交響樂團等。

 

沙隆年不斷追求創新的特質，使其成為古典樂界獨樹一幟的指揮家，其指揮生涯猶如點石成金的魔術師。在洛杉磯交響樂團長達17年音樂總監任內，注入21世紀的嶄新觀念與作法，帶入諸多現代首演之作，使樂團重振聲名，《紐約時報》讚譽「沙隆年讓洛杉磯交響樂團成為全美最有活力的樂團」，《洛杉磯時報》則認為他幫助樂團成為「開放、互動、有想像力的藝術家及演出製作團隊，成為這個國家、這個時代，人們的最愛」，他於2006年獲得美國媒體Musical America選為年度音樂家。

 

2008年沙隆年受邀擔任英國愛樂管絃樂團首席指揮後，他率領樂團前進各大音樂盛會，同時展開許多創舉，例如策劃曾獲獎的跨界展覽RE-RITE 與 Universe of Sound，讓民眾透過影像與聲音計畫，得以參與演奏、指揮；並協助發展iPad應用程式The Orchestra，讓使用者史無前例的參與8首交響樂製作。他為古典樂的未來，開闢科技蹊徑，擁抱21世紀的全球觀眾。他除了擔綱指揮、音樂總監，更是當代重要作曲家、策展人，全面發展的音樂成就與貢獻，備受世人肯定。
