Ingnite the imagination of rhythm, melody and musicality
In 2013, Little Sun's Music Box was widely appreciated and repeatedly encored. Now in 2014, the NSO and the Hsin-Yi Foundation will collaborate once again to present Dear Dots and Four Seasons and other works combining music and picture books. The "Let's Arts" corner this time takes the four seasons as its theme and creates interactions between music and illustrations. By sharing the picture book on screen, grown-ups and kids alike can read together while listening to musical selections. At the end, the picture book loved by thousands of children, Un Livre will magically be transformed into something everyone can share. With music woven into the narrative of Dear Dots, the newly composed Dear Dots by Ming-Hsiu Yen will stimulate children's imagination with rhythms, melodies, and colors.
