Ethan's Diary: Symphony Concert @241121…

On Thursday night, we went to the Lee Foundation Theatre to enjoy the concert of Schumann's Second and Third Symphonies performed by the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts Symphony Orchestra (NAFA Orchestra). This was Jiang Jiang's eighth concert and his overall performance was delightful. He quietly followed the rules, listened attentively, and showed interest in the shock and delicacy of the symphony, and his performance was significantly better than that of his younger brother Dongdong.
The NAFA Symphony Orchestra is composed of music students, and under the leadership of conductor Lin You, the performance level is quite high. They fully demonstrated the emotional levels and structural beauty in Schumann's works, bringing the audience a high-level musical enjoyment.
The concert repertoire included Schumann's **Symphony No. 2 and Symphony No. 3 (Rhine Symphony)**.
• *Symphony No. 2* shows Schumann's struggle and victory in spiritual dilemmas, especially the vitality of the scherzo and the hopeful mood of the finale.
• *Symphony No. 3* is based on the theme of nature and religious inspiration in the Rhine River Basin, with the cheerful rhythm of the first movement and the solemnity of the fourth movement.
The whole concert made Jiang Jiang immersed in it. It was not only a musical education, but also a good training for his patience and appreciation.
江江记事：交响曲音乐会 @241121…
周四晚上，我们来到李氏基金剧院，欣赏南洋艺术学院交响乐团（NAFA Orchestra）演奏的舒曼第二与第三交响曲音乐会。这是江江第八次参加音乐会，整体表现令人欣喜。他安静地遵守秩序，能专注倾听，对交响乐的震撼与细腻展现出兴趣，表现明显优于东东弟弟。
南艺交响乐团由音乐专业学生组成，在指挥家林友的带领下，演出水平颇高。他们将舒曼作品中的情感层次与结构美感展现得淋漓尽致，为观众带来一次高水准的音乐享受。
音乐会的曲目包括舒曼的**《第二交响曲》和《第三交响曲》（莱茵交响曲）**。
• **《第二交响曲》**展现了舒曼在精神困境中的斗争与胜利，特别是谐谑曲的活力与终乐章的希望情绪。
• **《第三交响曲》**则以莱茵河流域的自然与宗教灵感为主题，第一乐章的欢快节奏和第四乐章的庄严肃穆。
整场音乐会让江江沉浸其中，既是一次音乐教育，也是对他耐心和欣赏力的良好培养。
