Pudong, Jiading, Baoshan and even Suzhou, they rushed to the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra Concert Hall from all over, just to meet the Shanghai Summer Music Festival - on the evening of July 22, the Summer Music Festival reopened to the audience, and one set was installed by the post-00s generation. The protagonist's concert welcomes the audience.
That night, the post-00s conductor Jin Yukuang led the Neoclassical Chamber Orchestra and presented a unique concert. It was also the first concert at the festival to welcome audiences home this summer.
With a height of 1.88 meters, the tall and thin Jin Yukuang is very eye-catching on the stage. As the leader of this post-00s legion, how did he grow and how did he lead the band to take off?
Jin Yukuang was born in an ordinary family in Hangzhou. His parents had no musical background. "The biggest help they helped me in my music career was to buy the piano before I was born." The piano was originally bought by my father who worked in a publishing house. For myself, I didn't insist on learning, and finally was carried into the baby room, waiting for the birth of the child.
At the age of four or five, Jinyukuang began to learn the piano, and when he was in junior high school, he joined the chorus and sang the bass. Once with the troupe to perform abroad, as the sound director, he helped teacher Zhang Luohe organize a lot of things. The chorus conductor saw that he had both musical talent and organizational ability, and suggested that he be admitted to the conducting department of the High School Affiliated to Shanghai Conservatory of Music.
Alone, Jinyu Mine came from Hangzhou to Shanghai. In 2015, at the age of 15, he was admitted to the High School Affiliated to Shangyin and followed the conductor Zhao Xiaoou on the road of conducting.
At the age of 16, he was in his sophomore year of high school, and he made his debut as a conductor. The repertoire was the second movement of Beethoven's Symphony No. When the Zurich Conservatory of Music came to Shanghai for a tour, it was urgent to borrow the rehearsal hall of the High School Attached to Shanghai Music.
"I was suddenly asked to conduct the band. I was stunned and flattered." The teacher only gave him a week to prepare. He immediately went home and turned over the record. He listened to more than 20 versions in one go, and the scores were densely remembered. When he came to the stage, his mind was blank, and when he looked down, his legs were shaking.
As for the command, Jinyu Mine is willing to put in all his strength to learn, and he does not feel tired. For him, the difficulty of learning conducting is not technology, but how to extensively absorb knowledge, music, history, culture... "Conducting has all-round requirements for your abilities, this is really a long way!"
In December 2020, the 20-year-old Jinyu Mine realized his long-cherished wish to create a neoclassical chamber orchestra. This is a cutting-edge chamber band centered on neoclassical and minimalist style works. The team is mainly from the Shanghai Conservatory of Music. They grew up together, almost all of them were born in the 00s.
In the classroom, Jinyu Mining mainly explores the learning of conducting through the double piano. After having an orchestra, he began to have close contact with musicians of different instruments, from strings to wind instruments, he has a thorough understanding, which can be described as a world of difference. However, he also has sweet troubles. Because he is too tall, the chiefs always have to look at his gestures with their heads held high and their spines straight.
In January, he led the orchestra to make its debut, performing Stravinsky's "Dumbarton Oaks" and Copeland's "Appalachian Spring", which attracted industry attention. A few days later, he had an unexpected encounter with Yu Long, the music director of the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra.
At that time, Yu Long was leading the hand in rehearsal, allowing Ding Shande and Mahler to "meet" across the air. Jin Yukuang listened in the audience, and suddenly ran to a nearby copy shop, made a "self-introduction" manual for the Neoclassical Chamber Orchestra, and handed it over to Yu Long.
"I don't want to see young artists lose the most precious things - enthusiasm and self-confidence because of various difficulties and barriers when they are just starting out." With the advocacy of Yu Long and the support of the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, in 2020, " The "Blue Bird Project" was released, which aims to provide space for young people's musical aspirations to display and help their music careers to drive the overtaking lane.
This plan made Jinyu Mine's eyes shine, so he boldly recommended himself to his seniors and took off from the "Blue Bird Project" with the band, "At first, I was a toddler, I didn't know where the road ahead was, and slowly broke the shell and grew wings. , became a blue bird, and flew."
In June, Jinyu Mine successively won the runner-up in the Khachaturian International Conducting Competition and the Only Stage International Conducting Competition. It is not only the youngest participant, but also the only "post-00" who became famous in the first battle.
In July, the Golden Mellow Mine and the Neoclassical Chamber Orchestra made their debut at the Summer Music Festival and entered the field of vision of more people.
The Shangyin Conducting Department has a "privilege" that allows students to go to the orchestra to listen to rehearsal. Jin Yukuang listened to the rehearsal of various orchestras and came out in practice, and Yu Long and Shunjiao were the enlightenment of his orchestra rehearsal. At that time, he was still a freshman in high school, and Yu Long and the orchestra were arranging "Bran Poems", and the surging music came to him and shocked him.
Now, Jinyu Mine, who is about to enter the senior year, is the only undergraduate student of Yu Long on the tape. From the classroom to the orchestra, whenever there is an opportunity, he will always observe and learn from Yu Long's side, not only in conducting experience, but also in band management. Recently, he just flew to Guangzhou to listen to the season closing concert by his teacher and the Guangzhou Symphony Orchestra.
Although listening to a large number of records is of great help to the growth of conductors, in his opinion, field practice is more important. "Mr. Yu's rehearsal is very practical, how to move the bow, how to handle the fingering... He is instructive, directly telling you how to pull, not talking about illusory things. This kind of business ability is an experience that is difficult for students to obtain, and it is also a learning experience by listening to records. not coming."
Yu Long is known for his sternness. "I was really afraid of him at first, but gradually I got to know him, and then I became less afraid." Jin Yukuang candidly said that the four teachers he studied successively - Zhao Xiaoou, Zhang Guoyong, and Lin Da Ye and Yu Long have their own characteristics, and he has absorbed their advantages widely, and finally turned it into his own understanding of the world.
In his opinion, Yu Long is more like a German conductor. The conductor professor of the German music academy always takes the students to have a barbecue in his backyard after his class. Yu Long likes to deal with young people and has such a lovely side. . What surprised him even more was that Yu Long seemed to have continuous energy, and he could "recharge" through frequent conference calls. No matter how busy he was, he would be in good spirits after one or two hours of phone calls.
Conducting is an industry in which the older you get, the more popular it becomes. The more you perform, the more experience you will have. As a post-00 commander who is still accumulating experience, what are the advantages of Jinyu Mine?
"Chen Danqing said that Picasso may not have received as much information in his life as a modern person. We are the Internet generation and a precocious generation. We grew up in a global village with an explosion of information, and our vision may be more open, and we are also open to Eastern and Western cultures. There are absolutely no boundaries."
Jinyu Mine is very grateful to the Internet. It is through it that he likes to delve into various corners and nooks and find out those unpopular works hidden in the corners. Some works are not known even by domestic academic circles, such as Respighi's "Suite for Flute and Strings" which he and the orchestra just premiered in China.
In the eyes of many people, the conductor seems to be the representative of "power", but in the neoclassical chamber orchestra, Jinyu Mine advocates equal listening, dialogue and communication, and does not engage in subtlety and suspicion.
"The generation of Karajan and Bernstein did have very powerful conductors. Abbado was the first to change. When he rehearsed with the Berlin Philharmonic, he would deliberately create confusion, let different opinions emerge, and everyone had a fight. , the sound is so beautiful!"
Later, more and more young conductors moved closer to this way, such as Harding and Dudamel, and the conductor gradually became a collaborator. ? Of course the musician's idea is also important!"
Involution and lying flat are two words that are popular among young people nowadays. Jinyu Mine claims to be a proper "laying flat school".
"Actually, everyone's ultimate goal is to lie flat - to live a comfortable life, with a kitten at home, a beautiful mountain view outside the window, and expectations and ideas for the future. This is a very positive attitude towards life." He said to Jinyukuang, like a gas station in the middle of his life, he would recharge, grow and absorb nutrients while lying down, "If you take lying down as your terminal, give up completely and stop standing up, you will suffer from internal friction, very Danger."
That night, the post-00s conductor Jin Yukuang led the Neoclassical Chamber Orchestra and presented a unique concert. It was also the first concert at the festival to welcome audiences home this summer.

This cutting-edge chamber band, centered on works in neoclassical and minimalist styles, performed three works rarely performed in China - Schnittke's "Antiquities Suite", Respighi's "For Flute and Strings" "Suite" and Max Richter's "Reorganization · Vivaldi <Four Seasons>", it seems that people have watched three small literary and artistic films with mixed sorrows and joys. Vitality, self-confidence, sunshine, and bursting energy, they surprised the audience again and again.With a height of 1.88 meters, the tall and thin Jin Yukuang is very eye-catching on the stage. As the leader of this post-00s legion, how did he grow and how did he lead the band to take off?
