臺灣口琴音樂經過數十年的發展，在口琴專業演奏人才的培育上已有相當成果，尤其在獨奏、重奏與合奏演出形態的精進與突破，已具國際音樂水準且屢獲國際肯定。2014年起，天狼星口琴樂團本著耕耘與回饋口琴界的使命，發起舉辦「臺北口琴音樂大賽」，期望能為口琴學子們提供一個良性競爭與交流的平台。經過數年的發展，2023年起正式更名為「臺灣口琴音樂節 」，秉持本土與國際交流並重，多元風格兼容並蓄的精神，邀請國內外傑出的口琴音樂家共同擔任評審與觀摩演出，希望參與者能藉比賽與觀摩，互相砥礪，提升彼此間的音樂素養與視野。更希望藉此活動，打造優質的音樂學習和欣賞環境，將音樂文化的幼苗深耕厚實，培養新一代口琴演奏與教學人才，為臺灣口琴音樂發展提供實質助力。


 本年度的臺灣口琴音樂節首次移師國立陽明交通大學舉行，除了新竹縣政府文化局之外，更加入了陽明交大藝文中心作為共同主辦。在節目演出方面，本年度也加入了更多國外嘉賓一同共襄盛舉，打造出更堅強的演出陣容。在參賽者人數方面更創下了歷年來的最高峰，相信本年度活動精彩可期，誠摯邀請各位一同共享夏日的口琴嘉年華！

Over the past few decades, harmonica music in Taiwan has seen significant growth, especially in the development of professional performers. Solo, ensemble, and orchestral performances have reached an international standard and received widespread recognition.

In 2014, the Sirius Harmonica Ensemble launched the Taipei Harmonica Music Competition to provide a platform for healthy competition and exchange among harmonica students. In 2023, it was officially renamed the Taiwan Harmonica Music Festival (THMF), with a continued focus on local development and international collaboration. Each year, outstanding harmonica musicians from Taiwan and abroad are invited as judges and guest performers, fostering mutual learning and artistic growth.

The festival also aims to promote a high-quality environment for music education and appreciation, nurturing the next generation of harmonica performers and teachers in Taiwan.

This year, THMF will be held for the first time at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU), co-organized by the NYCU Art & Culture Center and the Hsinchu County Cultural Affairs Bureau. With a stronger lineup of international guests and a record number of participants, this year’s festival promises to be the most exciting yet. We warmly invite you to join us in this summer celebration of harmonica music!
