台北青年管樂團 / Taipei Wind Orchestra & Symphonic Band 5.07

台北青年管樂團 成立於1979年，簡稱「青管®」，是台灣最早成立的管樂團之一。目前成員皆為音樂系主修管樂之畢業生，現有近三十位擁有國外音樂研究所碩、博士學位及演奏家文憑，並有多位任職於國家交響樂團、台北市立交響樂團等國內職業樂團，及任教於大專音樂科系與各級中小學校音樂實驗班。1997年冬季更榮獲行政院文化建設委員會遴選為「傑出音樂團隊」，亦多年獲文化部分級獎助計畫團隊之一。

為了使青管®的演奏能往更精深與更廣泛的兩極紮根，目前青管®擁有幾個不同性質的演奏團體，包括由歸國學人與資深團員組成，以嘗試「精緻化」管樂合奏為目標的「管樂合奏團」（Wind Orchestra）；還有以目前大專與社會人士喜愛管樂、具有相當水準之演奏技術者所組成的「交響管樂團」（Symphonic Band）；更有以教育養成管樂人才為目標的四個青少年與少年管樂團（Concert Band）。

期以青管®三十年的專業樂團演奏及教學經驗，輔以優質行政團隊支援，培養出台灣最具代表性的管樂團及演奏者。這些不同風格型態的管樂組合，相信能帶給國內管樂演奏更豐富的多樣性。
