About / Taipei Male Singers
Since the foundation of Taipei Male Choir in 1998, the choir has won numerous awards both domestically and internationally, accumulating more than 20 prizes in total. In 2012, the choir participated in the Audi Festival in Germany and received great praise for its participation in the "King's Singers" master class. This event inspired TMC to found Taipei Male Singers, seeking to reach musical performance in a broader perspective under the scale of a male singing group.
Shortly after the foundation of Taipei Male Singers, the group collaborated with Christian Schmidt, the art director of “Die Singphoniker”, in their premiere concert. In 2015, the group invited Paul Phoenix, who was the former member of Kings’ Singers, as the guest advisor and collaborative artist in the concert, setting the reputation for Taipei Male Singers as one of the singing groups in Taiwan that collaborate actively with international musicians and artists. In March 2015, the group participated in the 8th Fukushima Vocal Ensemble Competition in Japan, and they stood out from more than 200 groups to win the Gold Medal at the first round. In the final round, they also won a prize, marking them as the first foreign choir to get in the final round throughout the history of competition. After they got back from the competition in Japan, they held tour concerts at several locations in Taiwan such as Hsinchu, Miaoli, Taichung, Changhua, Hualien, Taitung and Penghu, seeking to promote the arts of male choral music.
In August 2014, the group was invited to perform in the Music Festival of Poznan Boys’ Choir in Poznan, Poland.
In August 2015, they were invited to the 20th European Festival of Youth Choirs with tours in Germany and Italy. They were also granted an interview with the ambassador of Vatican, and held their exlusive concert in Rome.
In February 2017, they were invited to participate in the “4th Petrozavodsk Chorus Festival” in Russia as the first Asian choir invited to the festival in their history.
