The Macao Orchestra invites the distinguished Hungarian Ars Nova Vocal Ensemble for an all-Mozart programme celebrating some of the most appreciated sacred music from the Austrian genius. The evening then culminates with one of the composer’s most popular orchestral works: Symphony No. 40 in G minor!
Ars Nova was founded in 1990 by Katalin Kiss, its Artistic Director, and has enjoyed considerable success at various international choir competitions, winning the First Prize at the Rhodes International Choir Competition in Greece in 2005. The ensemble participated in a series of world premieres of works by contemporary composers and has been honoured with the dedication of a number of choral pieces written especially for them.
