Italian Romance

Due to the impact of novel coronavirus pandemic, many performers will not be able to visit Macao. The Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC, from the Portuguese acronym) decided to cancel the “Children’s Day Concert: Conductor’s Spellbook” which was originally scheduled for 30 May. Spectators who have purchased tickets for this concert may contact the Macau Ticketing Network outlets for refund procedures from today until 31 July.

Date: 08-05-2019  Friday  Time: 8pm

Venue: St. Dominic’s Church

Conductor／Roberto Gianola

Violin／Paolo Morena

Programme:
Menotti: Violin concerto
Beethoven: Symphony No. 6 in F Major, Op. 68“Pastoral”

Gianola is one of the most sought after new generation conductors in the international music scene. The young talent who has emerged rapidly in recent years has toured Europe, Asia, America, and Africa, collaborating with renowned orchestras around the world with great acclaim. We already had a taste of his consummate skill and artistic charisma in the Latin Capriccio concert in 2016. This season, Gianola will once again co-present with OM a wonderful concert. It is particularly noteworthy that conductor Gianola will team up with OM concertmaster Paolo Morena to present Italian composer Menotti’s Violin Concerto. The work is a gem of the violin concerto repertoire from the 20th century and yet it is seldom performed. This time, we are honoured to have the two Italian artists interpret the piece in original Italian style. A rare occasion not to be missed!
