The Macao Orchestra enthusiastically presents the most recent works by four of China’s most famous contemporary composers. Ye Xiaogang has been hailed as the “Chinese Bach”, with his music described as “completely magical – so amazing”. Bright Sheng, a Chinese-born American composer, brings his unique international perspective to Chinese music of the 21st century. Joining them are two internationally celebrated composers from Macao, Lam Bun-Ching and Doming Lam, who will showcase their distinctive talents and innovative musical styles in compositions richly steeped in a traditional Chinese context. The four composers will take the stage to personally present these newest of their creations, commissioned by the Macao Orchestra. This rare opportunity to hear contemporary Chinese music must not be missed!
