Zhang Jiachen, Chief Violin Officer of the Salzburg Philharmonic Orchestra in Austria - Feeling the Power of Aesthetic Education in Violin Performance
2023-05-15
Nowadays, more and more Chinese families are paying attention to aesthetic and music enlightenment education. I believe that aesthetic education is not just a skill education, nor is it related to fame and fortune. "said Zhang Jiachen, a post-80s overseas Chinese in Austria and the chief violinist of the Salzburg Philharmonic Orchestra No. 2 in Austria. Zhang Jiachen, a subtle aesthetic enlightenment, was born in Shanghai and currently resides in the hometown of famous musician Mozart - Salzburg, Austria. Zhang Jiachen's parents love art and music. At the age of 4, Zhang Jiachen was admitted to Shanghai Music Kindergarten to study violin, which was influenced by her family environment. She recalled, "At that time, my parents accompanied me to practice piano every day after work. They also often took me to concerts, exhibitions, and Shanghai Art Film Studio to watch cartoons. Now, in retrospect, this experience was my aesthetic enlightenment education, which subtly influenced me." Zhang Jiachen is still unforgettable, experiencing music for the first time to shake my heart. When I was studying at the Affiliated Middle School of Music at Shanghai Conservatory of Music, the school organized a performance with the audience of students from the Dabie Mountains. Watching the children under the stage showing bright and joyful smiles because of the music, at that moment, I deeply felt the power of music, "she said. Zhang Jiachen recalled that in her artistic career, her mentor, Professor Ding Zhinuo from Shanghai Conservatory of Music, had the greatest influence on her. Professor Ding pays attention to inner beauty and health, and has always encouraged me to study cultural knowledge, read more good books, exercise, and enrich myself in addition to practicing piano, "said Zhang Jiachen. At the age of 19, Zhang Jiachen came to Salzburg, Austria to gain a deeper understanding of the charm of music and embark on a career in violin playing. At that time, my teacher had a very rigorous and unique perspective on music education. In addition to the requirements for technical practice, he also attached great importance to the uniqueness of personal music language, emphasizing the development of students' thinking, creativity, and imagination about music. He required us to read philosophy and aesthetics books regularly in addition to studying music and art history. "Zhang Jiachen said. Living in Salzburg, Zhang Jiachen loves this city very much. This is a dreamy place with lakes scattered all around. In early summer, you can still see the rolling mountains covered in snow, the air is clean and fragrant, and the beautiful melodies played by carriages and wandering musicians can be seen everywhere on the street, making people feel like they are instantly back to Mozart's era. Salzburg, a city with a sense of history and vitality, is the cradle of many musicians. Many people around me can play different musical instruments, and they have a deep understanding of the history behind each work. They also delve into many professional fields such as literature, medicine, linguistics, psychology, etc. Communicating with them can always benefit me greatly. As my understanding of music deepens, Zhang Jiachen realized that "only by achieving inner relaxation can the music expressed be natural, and the spiritual sense brought by nature can make a person shine." After graduation, Zhang Jiachen successfully passed the examination for the position of Chief Violin Officer of the Second Salzburg Philharmonic Orchestra in Austria. She said that the colleagues of the band are very passionate about traditional Chinese culture. For them, China is full of charm and attraction. Aesthetic education is one of the important ways to develop children's wisdom
