Artistic Direction
Gabriel Amadeus Hahn serves as the co-artistic director of Vocal Asia, one of Asia’s most prominent platforms for pop and jazz choirs, a cappella music, and vocal arts. Under his guidance, Vocal Asia has expanded its activities, reach, and influence, connecting singers, vocal enthusiasts, and instrumentalists across the globe. The organization achieves this mainly through the seasonal course programs of Vocal Lab/Project M, as well as the annual festival camps Vocal Asia Festival and Acappella Youth Camp by the Kehua Foundation. The latter specifically targets diverse youth groups, including Taiwan's Indigenous youth. The festival program encompasses workshops, live performances, panels and competitions . Gabriel's vision emphasizes innovation, collaboration, and cultural exchange, making Vocal Asia a vital hub for vocal artistry in Asia.
In 2024, Gabriel founded Glocal Culture Exchange (家柏文化交流), a Taiwan-based organization dedicated to cultural and artistic exchange. Its kick-off project took place in July 2024 and included a Taiwan-wide concert tour with renowned U.S. jazz vocalists Darmon Meader and Rosana Eckert, featuring some of Taiwan's finest jazz musicians.
Glocal Culture Exchange’s mission statement:
"With a focus on cultural and artistic exchange, performances, and education, we plan related activities to provide participants with deeper and more diverse cultural and artistic experiences and learning opportunities. Using music as a starting point, we aim for a cross-cultural and interdisciplinary development. Our goal is to establish platforms that reach diverse communities, fostering integration among them. These platforms enable people from different communities to connect with each other, to share and to grow, creating an inclusive environment and enhancing the overall quality of life."
