澳門大學弦樂團
UM String Orchestra
澳門大學弦樂團成立於2010年1月，是由澳門大學本科生、研究生組成，現有團員約四十名。弦樂團積極開拓多元化的學生體驗並曠闊他們的視野，通過定期排演活動建立不同學系團員間的友誼，在團內發展音樂的羈絆，擴大學生的社交生活圈子。在音樂發展方面，樂團致力於校內推廣弦樂藝術文化，讓澳大學生欣賞到由團員演奏扣人心弦的弦樂作品；在校外，樂團積極推動本地音樂藝術發展，使更多地區的觀眾能夠體驗到澳大弦樂團的魅力並透過音樂認識澳門大學。
為了使學生得到專業的培訓、提升演奏水平，除了平常樂隊排練及室樂重奏排練外，樂團並會定期邀請本地及外國專業音樂演奏教育家進行交流、集訓和同台表演。曾指導樂團及同台演出的專業音樂演奏教育家包括澳門樂團助理指揮簡柏堅先生、香港小交響樂團第二小提琴首席李海南先生、香港電台弦樂四重奏、四川交響樂團中提琴首席車健先生、美國史蒂芬奧斯汀州立大學樂團總監Gene Moon教授及該校中提琴導師Melissa Nabb小姐、香港馬林巴琴演奏家傅佩儀小姐及法國馬林巴琴演奏家Thierry Miroglia先生。此外自2013年起，澳大弦樂團每年均應邀參與澳門樂團音樂會《未來的希望》演出，讓團員透過與職業樂師肩並肩的排練和同台演出，從中學習及提升演奏水平。
澳大弦樂團經常舉辦並鼓勵團員參與校園內及本地社區的各種出音樂演出及活動。在本地社區方面，樂團常獲邀為不同的音樂會及典禮作表演嘉賓，包括於第十二屆香港(亞太區)鋼琴大賽作表演嘉賓、”禁毒微電影創作比賽”頒獎禮與澳門浸信中學管弦樂團作現場演奏、參與澳門浸信中學的”共聚 弦續”音樂會、於澳門室內樂協會的”室樂雅聚慶回歸”音樂會中聯合演出、於”培道五四匯演”歌唱比賽作中客席演出及於澳門濠江中學”Yale Out of Blue Concert”中客席演出。
除了活躍於澳門，樂團也會代表澳門大學到外地交流，用音樂與世界互通。2012年，赴台灣實踐大學音樂系學生交流合演；2014年，前往泰國曼谷參與音樂活動；2015年，前往新加坡與南洋理工大學進行聯合演出。2018年前往美國史蒂芬奧斯汀州立大學聯合演出。
澳門大學弦樂團志在為學校的發展作出一份貢獻，亦希望為團員或傾聽者提供更多享受音樂的機會。未來的年歲里，也歡迎能有更多對弦樂熱愛的、志同道合的夥伴加入樂團，在這裡一起享受弦樂帶來樂趣。
