胡桃山音樂營：中美音樂交流的橋樑
「胡桃山音樂營」（Annual Music Festival at Walnut Hill）由中華表演藝術基金會（Foundation for Chinese Performing Arts）創辦，自 1999 年起每年夏季在美國麻薩諸塞州納蒂克（Natick, Massachusetts）舉行，是北美地區歷史最悠久的華人古典音樂夏季音樂節之一，至今已舉辦逾 25 屆。
音樂節以管弦樂、室內樂及鋼琴為核心，匯聚來自亞洲及北美的年輕音樂家，在專業指導下進行密集排練與演出。音樂節的宗旨是透過音樂促進中美文化交流，並為具潛力的年輕音樂家提供高水平的演奏平台。
香港鋼琴家鄧天培（Tin-Pui Tang）曾參與胡桃山音樂營，在音樂節期間與來自不同文化背景的音樂家共同演出，豐富了其跨文化的音樂視野。這段北美的音樂節經歷，與他其後在英國皇家音樂學院及以色列布赫曼-梅塔音樂學院的深造相輔相成，構成了他多元化的國際音樂教育歷程。
Annual Music Festival at Walnut Hill: A Bridge Between Chinese and Western Music Traditions
The Annual Music Festival at Walnut Hill, organised by the Foundation for Chinese Performing Arts (中華表演藝術基金會), has been held every summer in Natick, Massachusetts since 1999. It is one of the longest-running Chinese classical music summer festivals in North America, celebrating over 25 years of musical exchange between Asia and the United States.
The festival centres on orchestral, chamber, and piano music, bringing together young musicians from Asia and North America for intensive rehearsals and performances under professional guidance. Its mission is to foster cultural exchange between China and the United States through music, while providing a high-level performance platform for talented young artists.
Hong Kong pianist Tin-Pui Tang participated in the Walnut Hill Music Festival, performing alongside musicians from diverse cultural backgrounds. This North American festival experience complemented his formal training in Hong Kong, London, and Israel, broadening his musical perspective and forming an important part of his international music education journey.
