讓仲夏夜的狂想在樂譜上肆意奔放；當美麗夕陽渲染天際，餘韻繞樑的悸動將永留心底。

理查．史特勞斯在遲暮之年寫下了最後四首歌，對一位84歲的老者而言，眼見所及雖是大戰後的殘破與蒼涼，但仍可在音樂中感受到夕陽無限好的絕美。四首詩作、四種意境，只等你來領悟。

仲夏夜之夢是莎翁最知名的喜劇之一，劇情充滿浪漫色彩，繽紛喧鬧而有趣。17歲的孟德爾頌對這齣戲劇經典愛不釋手，僅用短短一個月時間便為其寫下了序曲，其中管弦樂色彩之豐富令人讚嘆。16年後，孟德爾頌再度受到普魯士王的委託，創作了全本配樂，以12首樂曲貫穿全劇，再加上之前的序曲，整部《仲夏夜之夢》戲劇音樂至此大功告成。

一場音樂會，讓你從青春走到老，只願音樂的美好永遠與你相隨。

A midsummer night’s rhapsody running wild on music sheets, a beautiful sunset tinting the skyline, and a moving melody that will stay with you forever.

Richard Strauss wrote his four last songs in his old age. Even though surrounded by desolation after the war, this 84-year-old man still managed to express the extreme beauty of a coming end in his music. Four poems, four concepts - your personal interpretation.

A Midsummer Night’s Dream is one of Shakespeare's most popular comedies. The boisterous romantic drama was also one of 17-year-old Mendelssohn’s favorite classic dramas. He completed the overture, a composition filled with colorful orchestral music, in merely one month. Sixteen years later, Mendelssohn was commissioned by the King of Prussia to compose music for the entire drama. He wrote twelve pieces of music, along with the previous overture, to complement the theatre production, A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

This concert presents a composer at his prime, and another at the last leg of his life; yet one element that is consistent is the beauty and joy of music.
