口琴是極具特色的樂器，小巧卻蘊含無限的可能性，一向被譽為大眾樂器之王。不僅能夠演繹古典音樂，亦可跨足流行音樂、爵士樂以及現代音樂等不同樂風。然而口琴在台灣屬於小眾樂器，大多數人對於口琴往往停留在演奏老歌古調的刻板印象。

天狼星口琴樂團為2017世界口琴大賽小合奏冠軍得主，當代國際口琴代表性樂團，一直以來致力於口琴音樂的革新與推廣，以重奏的編制詮釋不同風格的樂曲。在與來自不同國家的演奏家交流時，深深為各國不同的音樂風情所感動。尤其近期受邀於歐洲演出時，當地的民眾給予十分熱烈的掌聲與深刻的迴響，讓樂團驚訝於當地音樂教育的成功，也深感落實音樂在地化與生活化的必要性。從2012年開始，天狼星口琴樂團致力於台灣各縣市的口琴推廣演出，獲得民眾許多熱情的鼓勵與支持，希望透過表演，讓各地喜歡藝文活動的朋友們，能夠更加認識台灣優質的口琴重奏音樂，也期望能深耕台灣的藝文活動，帶動藝文發展。

此次《銀河之詩》2024年度公演，將與作曲家李讓合作口琴原創作品，並於臺北國家演奏廳與高雄衛武營表演廳兩地舉辦。結合樂團近年於拉丁、爵士與流行等音樂方向的深耕，希望向愛樂朋友們分享口琴音樂的美好！

The harmonica is a highly distinctive instrument, small yet imbued with infinite possibilities, often hailed as the king of popular instruments. It can not only interpret classical music but also span genres such as pop, jazz, and contemporary music. However, in Taiwan, the harmonica is considered a niche instrument, and most people hold the stereotype that it is only used to play old songs and traditional tunes.

Sirius Harmonica Ensemble, the recipient of 2017 Harmonica Group World Champion, is a representative contemporary harmonica group dedicated to the innovation and promotion of harmonica music, interpreting various styles of music through ensemble arrangements. When collaborating with musicians from different countries, they have been deeply moved by the diverse musical cultures. Recently, during a performance tour in Europe, the enthusiastic applause and profound resonance from the local audience astonished the ensemble, highlighting the success of local music education and emphasizing the necessity of localizing and integrating music into everyday life.

Since 2012, Sirius Harmonica Ensemble has been committed to promoting harmonica performances across various cities and counties in Taiwan, receiving much encouragement and support from the public. Through their performances, they hope to introduce more people to Taiwan’s high-quality harmonica ensemble music and to foster a deeper appreciation for cultural and artistic activities, thereby promoting the development of the arts in Taiwan.

The 2024 annual concert " The Epic of Galaxy " will feature original harmonica music in collaboration with composer Jang Li, with performances at National Recital Hall and Weiwuying Recital Hall. The ensemble, combining their recent focus on Latin, jazz, and pop music, hopes to share the beauty of harmonica music with music lovers.
