HAO-TUN
Taiwanese by birth, Teng
was evinced interest in music at very early
stage as a child. At the age of three, he
was given a 1/10 sized violin and sent by
his parents, both professional musicians,
to Dr.Ma Hsiao-Tsiun, father of the noted
cellist Ma Yo-Yo, to receive primary violin
lesson. The formal music education started
at elementary school, and during his six
years in high school, he was under tutorship
of Mr. Su Chen-Tu. It was not until his
enrolling at the National Institute of the
Arts, had he received the must influential
pedagogy from Maestro Lim Kek-Tjiang, the
eminent violinist-conductor, student of
George Enesco, the great Romanian violinist,
a new horizon to his violinistic artistry.
Prior to his being admitted to the National
Institute of the Arts, Teng was awarded with
prize of the violin at the 7th Concerto Competition,
1992, sponsored by the Taipei City Symphony.
A performance afterwards of Concerto in g-minor
by Bruch was given with the orchestra at the
National Concert Hall, Taipei. The summer
followed, he was heard in the Pacific Music
Festival, Sappolo, Japan.
During 1996-1998, his highly acclaimed recitals
were given island-wide with repertoire ranging
from Baroque to 20th century music, and distinguished
himself as one of the best violinist the generation
to come.
His activity as concertmaster can be traced
back to his college days, the concertmaster
of the Taipei Orchestra under Maestro Lim
Kek-Tjiang in 1996. Even in his service at
the army, Teng was the leader to the Orchestra
of the National Defense Ministry, 1998-2000.
He was appointed the concertmaster and assistant
conductor to the Evergreen Symphony Orchestra
in 2002 and a sheer performance of Lalo’s
Symphony Espagnole was executed with the Orchestra
in March, 2003. His fame as an elite violinist
was thus firmly established.
Teng is now the artist-in-residence to Taipei
Philharmonic Youth Orchestra.
