In the world-renowned multicultural metropolis, New York City’s Manhattan, where dreams and realities intertwine, every corner hums with its own unique rhythm. It is here that “青松 PINEASE” was born, embarking on a journey from musical premieres to cross-disciplinary exchanges, continually exploring new possibilities in human connection. This year-end musical feast centers on unrestrained artistry and expression, featuring dazzling solos, duets, and piano concertos. From the violin’s lively dialogue to the piano’s soaring leaps, each melody flows seamlessly between technical precision and emotional depth, delivering awe and delight to the audience. More than just a concert, it’s a vibrant social gathering filled with passion and energy. As the New Year approaches, a diverse audience comes together to experience the unique charm of music and embrace the challenges and aspirations of 2025.

从庄严到华丽：独奏的多维展现

From Solemn to Splendid: The Multifaceted Display of Solos

音乐会将以维塔利的《夏康舞曲》拉开帷幕，这首经典之作以其深邃的旋律和丰富的情感层次，带领观众进入庄严而宏大的音乐世界。紧接着，李斯特的《梅菲斯托圆舞曲》第三号将为舞台注入炫目的技巧与狂热的激情，呈现出钢琴在速度与张力上的极致表现。而圣-桑改编的《圆舞曲练习曲随想曲》则在优雅的圆舞曲节奏中，以高超的技巧与灵动的旋律，为小提琴炫技增添一抹华丽的色彩。

The concert will open with Vitali's Chaconne, a timeless masterpiece that leads the audience into a solemn and majestic musical realm with its profound melodies and rich emotional layers. Following this, Liszt’s Mephisto Waltz No. 3 will bring dazzling virtuosity and fervent passion to the stage, showcasing the piano’s ultimate speed and tension. Saint-Saëns’ arrangement of Caprice on Waltz Etudes adds an elegant waltz rhythm, blending exquisite technique with lively violin melodies, adding a touch of splendor to the showcase.

幽默与深邃并存：二重奏的灵动碰撞

A Playful yet Profound Encounter: The Dynamic Duo

肖斯塔科维奇的《三首二重奏》将通过两把小提琴与钢琴的合作，为观众带来一种既灵动又富有戏剧性的听觉体验。作品在轻松的旋律中融入深邃的情感表达，展现了幽默与戏剧性之间的微妙平衡。三位演奏家在舞台上的默契配合，将赋予作品独特的生命力，带来层次丰富的音乐体验。

Shostakovich’s Three Duets will present a unique auditory experience through the collaboration of two violins and piano. These pieces interweave lighthearted melodies with profound emotional undertones, striking a delicate balance between humor and drama. The seamless synergy between the three musicians will infuse the compositions with a vibrant life, offering a rich and layered musical journey.

默契的巅峰对话：从深情到活力

A Peak of Harmonious Dialogue: From Poignant to Vibrant

音乐会的尾声将由贝里奥的《协奏二重奏》两首作品呈现。第一号的庄重与恢弘，与第三号的轻快灵动形成鲜明对比。这两首作品不仅展现了小提琴在不同风格中的表现力，更通过两把小提琴之间的对话与交织，完美诠释了法比学派的精髓。随着这段精彩的双小提琴演绎，音乐会将在悠扬的旋律中圆满收官，为观众留下难忘的音乐记忆。

The concert will conclude with two of Berio’s Duetti. The first duet is solemn and grand, while the third exudes a lively and spirited charm. These pieces not only highlight the expressive power of violins across contrasting styles but also beautifully capture the essence of the Franco-Belgian school through the intricate dialogue and interplay of the two violins. This captivating performance will bring the concert to a resonant close, leaving the audience with unforgettable musical memories.
