觀察COVID-19對古典交響樂團演出形式影響，以國立臺灣交響樂團為例

Abstract

大編制的交響樂團在舞臺上，由近百位不同聲部專業的音樂家共同合作，在指揮的帶領下完成每一首作曲的詮釋。短短一句話可以看出交響樂團的體系，由許多不同樂器的演出者組成，核心價值是專業的音樂演出。在過去，交響樂團主要的演出形式多半為現場實體演出，並透過盛大的編制詮釋磅礡的作品；2020年2月臺灣表演藝術產業受到COVID-19的影響，2020、2021年兩年間遇到兩次因疫情影響的全國性表演場域封館，且一波一波的疫情讓社會意識對於密集的市內群聚更為謹慎，在這樣的大環境下，交響樂團所熟悉的大編制及實體演出這兩種模式都受到了巨大的挑戰，許多團隊被迫選擇將重心轉到線上發展。隨著疫情持續影響和演變，交響樂團暫時性的政策可能轉變成一種常態。在疫情下表演藝術的生態受到前所未有的危機，身為文化部公務機關的國立臺灣交響樂團此時肩負重責大任，包括其如何利用國家資源在這個艱難的時刻繼續維持臺灣的藝文推廣和教育。本研究以國立臺灣交響樂團為例，研究受到COVID-19疫情影響後其樂團演出形式的調整、線上化變成常態所帶來的利弊以及身為公務機關的樂團，在疫情期間所扮演的社會責任。Orchestra is a group of performers combined with musicians with different instruments to perform altogether under the leadership of the conductor. The core value for an orchestra is non-other than professional musical performance. In the past, orchestras rely heavily on live performances and usually combined with a large number of musicians to interpret a masterpiece. However, ever since COVID-19 impacted Taiwan’s performing arts industry in February 2020, Taiwan has encountered twice between 2020 and 2021 when the pandemic was serious enough to force all performing venues to close themselves to the outside world. Each wave of the pandemic has shaped Taiwan’s performing arts industry in various ways. The most significant change among the many changes is probably how most performing groups are now relying on digital online platforms for their performance. National Taiwan Symphony Orchestra is a governmental organization, it shoulders different duties in this challenging time, duties included how to use the government’s resources to support and promote arts education during the time of the pandemic.This research is a case study on National Taiwan Symphony Orchestra, to study how the pandemic changes the orchestra’s programs and performances, and how it performs its social responsibilities during this tough moment.
