Origin

In July 1989, the Ju Percussion Group Foundation (the Foundation) was established to take charge of the administration of the Group. The Foundation's mission is to make music universal and readily accessible to the public, and to enhance the role of the percussive arts in performances, composition and research in Taiwan. In addition to administration of the Ju Percussion Group, the Foundation also organizes numerous cultural and educational events, including national and international arts festivals. Over the years, the Foundation has contributed the continuous efforts of the percussion promotion, and it has become an important platform for interaction between Taiwan and the international percussion community.

Not only Ju Percussion Group but also include Ju Percussion Group 2, Jumping Percussion Group, Juvenile Percussion Ensemble and JUT Percussion Group. The Foundation has arranged in an average about 160 performances in domestic and abroad each year. The Foundation has held the Taiwan International Percussion Convention (TIPC) since 1993. The success of the TIPC has established a new milestone for percussion music in Taiwan. In 2023, the Foundation will be conducted the 11th TIPC. To further the spirit of the TIPC, the Taipei International Percussion Summer Camp (TIPSC) was held every year since 1999. Also, the Ju Percussion Group Laboratory plan was started from 2016 in order to initiate, explore and nurture innovative talents, and jointly opened up a new phase needed by the next generation in the field of percussion and innovation. In addition, the foundation also set up various percussion seminars and research programs to advance the ideal. The Foundation also devotes itself to encouraging music talent by commissioning composers to create new percussion works, and as many as 284 pieces have been created so far, arranging recitals for gifted young musicians, organizing music camps for budding percussionists, and encouraging the Group's musicians to perform further research. On the other hands, the foundation also releases albums to preserve the rhythm of contemporary percussion, and let it go deep into the life through transmission. Since 2013, the Ju Percussion Group has been chosen as a ""Taiwan Brand Performing Arts Group"". In the future, the foundation will continue to combine performances, teaching, researching and promotion, using percussion as a medium for the world to see Taiwan.
