Ju Percussion perform "...before and after love..." in Taipei

Founded in January 1986, the Chu Tsung-Ching Percussion Ensemble, with Taiwan as its home and the world as its stage, upholds the spirit of "Moving On" and is committed to promoting comprehensive development in performance, teaching, research, and promotion. Over the years, amidst a rapidly changing environment, the Chu Tsung-Ching Percussion Ensemble has persevered in its pursuit of artistic professionalism, sharing moving rhythms through innovative performances and accumulating cultural energy for Taiwan, hoping to bring a little more beauty to the world and a little more warmth to society.

On January 2, 2026, the Chu Tsung-Ching Percussion Ensemble celebrates its 40th anniversary! To achieve greater sophistication, deeper meaning, and broader scope, we strive with all our might, building new heights and hopes step by step. This moment marks both a milestone and a turning point. With the "2.0" transformation, the Chu Tsung-Ching Percussion Ensemble will continue on the path of steadily pursuing our dreams—our original aspiration remains unchanged, and we will forever embark on a new journey!

The Zhu Zongqing Percussion Ensemble's 40th Anniversary Concert, " X : The Power of Facing the World," features a repertoire comprised entirely of custom-designed commissioned works, a truly unique and significant achievement. " X " represents the convergence of diverse forces, the potential for infinite possibilities, and a symbol of transformation and change. Facing a future of uncertainty, cross-border exploration, and exploration, we firmly believe in the power of art. Through this concert, we look forward to once again connecting the momentum of progress and the pulse of sound, embarking on another epic journey!
