The concert “Weekend Music Party – Sand Art Music Show”, specially presented by the Macao Orchestra, under the auspices of the Cultural Affairs Bureau, was held successfully on 4 March, at the Dom Pedro V Theatre. The Macao Orchestra joined hands with renowned Hong Kong sand painting artist Ma Wing Cheung, who created with his deft hands stunningly beautiful pictures to the vigorous melodies which indulged the audience with a dazzling art performance.
In the concert “Weekend Music Party – Sand Art Music Show”, Ma Wing Cheung used sand to offer heart-warming and compelling scenes and stories to the audience. The sand flowed between his fingers to the sound of the two selections from L’estro armonico (“The Harmonic Inspiration”) and La stravaganza (“The Extravagance”), concluding with the Concerto for flute, oboe, and bassoon in F Major “La tempesta di mare” (“The Storm at Sea”) by Antonio Vivaldi. Music aficionados enjoyed the lively violin music, while feeling the flowing sand scenes created by Ma Wing Cheung, which turned this concert into an absolutely memorable show.
The Macao Orchestra will also present the two special productions “Weekend Music Party – Musical Yoga” and “Weekend Music Party – Memory of Youth”, to be held on 22 April and 24 June, respectively, at 4pm, at the Dom Pedro V Theatre. “Musical Yoga” will present various pieces of classical music with even and slow tempo, while “Memory of Youth” will be dedicated to film soundtracks that remind the public’s most precious and unforgettable memories of those youthful days on campus.
