Post-1990s young composer Qian Junping is one of the brightest new stars in the international music world of the past few years. He is a graduate of top music schools in Germany and America, winner of the 2017 Bucharest International Conducting Competition in Romania, was named Assistant Conductor for the Royal Scottish National Orchestra in 2018 and has had extensive performances around America, Europe and China. This season he will be performing with Macao Orchestra to give our music lovers a special treat – a concert both serious and humorous, traditional and innovative.
