When light fades on a summer's evening, something magical starts to happen. In this new adaptation of the text by Gerard McBurney, Mendelsshon's enchanting 1842 incidental music for Shakespeare's play Midsummer Night's Dream is brought to life in Glasgow by a young cast of singers and actors. This concert closes the 大象传媒 Scottish Symphony Orchestra's year long celebration of the Bard.

But in the first half, the party starts with Berio's adaptation of Boccherini's 18th Century Night music on the streets of Madrid, and continues in the ever popular Mozart's 21st piano concerto played by the brilliant, Alexander Gavrylyuk.
