Felix Mendelssohn (arr. McPhee) – A Midsummer Night’s Dream
With the Lexington Children’s Chorus
Lexington Symphony’s season finale features the Lexington Children’s Chorus in a magical performance of Mendelssohn’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, adapted and arranged by Maestro McPhee. This romantic work is renowned for its shimmering orchestration, classical elegance, and vivid harmonic transitions. Legend has it that Mendelssohn conceived the famous opening chords after hearing the rustle of leaves in his family’s garden on a summer evening—capturing the enchantment of Shakespeare’s world in sound.
