【2026衛武營國際音樂節】閉幕音樂會《最後四首歌》

尼采曾言，音樂的使命在於「引導我們的思想走向更高的境界，使我們提升。」2026 衛武營國際音樂節閉幕演出，在藝術總監簡文彬指揮下，高雄市交響樂團與德國女高音穆勒將展開一場關於生命超脫、靈性與信仰的心靈之旅。與溫潤明亮的管絃樂相映，穆勒以被譽為「宛若自水晶切割而成」的歌喉，將觀眾心靈引向更為高遠的境界。

梅湘《被遺忘的奉獻》由「十字架」的弦樂哀歌起筆，經過墜向深淵的「罪」，再至「聖體」靜謐流光，描繪宗教冥想；理查・史特勞斯《最後四首歌》為作曲家晚年的絕美告別，流露對生命的眷戀與釋然；布魯克納第六號交響曲則以宏偉主題與深刻情感，展現莊嚴與哲思。從生命沉思到德奧晚期浪漫抒情，為音樂節劃下發人深省的華麗終章。

NIETZSCHE said music's task is "to lead our thoughts to higher things, to elevate." In the grand finale of the 2026 Weiwuying International Music Festival, German soprano Hanna-Elisabeth MÜLLER—praised for a voice "as if cut from crystal" — joins maestro CHIEN Wen-pin and the Kaohsiung Symphony Orchestra in a thoughtful ascendant journey of life, spirituality, and devotion.

MESSIAEN's Les Offrandes Oubliées moves from the lament of  "The Cross" and the plunge into "Sin"  to the glowing peace of  "The Eucharist." R. STRAUSS' s Four Last Songs offers a tender farewell to life, while BRUCKNER's Symphony No. 6 unites grand architecture with deep emotion and philosophical reflection. From spiritual meditation to Late Romantic splendor, this reflective evening crowns the festival in brilliance.

Kaohsiung Symphony Orchestra (KSO)

Wherever there is music, there is you.

- A young orchestra which advances with determination

It is an asset for a city to have an orchestra of its own. Young and energetic, the Kaohsiung Symphony Orchestra (KSO) invites world-class conductors and masters for collaboration, and challenges itself by staging performances of diversified styles. The development of the orchestra focuses on both classical and crossover genres; it has not only created increasingly more high quality musical miscellanies for music enthusiasts but also planted numerous seeds for music appreciation and performance, contributing to the innovation of classical music.

The Kaohsiung Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1981. It was merged with the Kaohsiung Chinese Orchestra in 2009 as Kaohsiung Philharmonic Culture and Arts Foundation. Since 2009, the KSO has made considerable contribution in the Kaohsiung Spring Arts Festival, successfully promoting its grassland concerts. In the last decade, the KSO has collaborated with renowned local and international artists and music groups and staged numerous concert series. The end of 2018 marked the grand opening of the National Kaohsiung Center for the Arts (Weiwuying), where the KSO participated in the centers inauguration. KSO wishes to continue playing an important role in the centers concert hall.

The KSO has been invited to perform on international stages regularly. Reaching beyond city and country borders, the KSO advances steadily with the self-development goal of becoming an internationally acclaimed orchestra.
