Macau Orchestra returns to Beethoven

The Macau Orchestra is set to play a chamber music concert titled “All About Beethoven” at Dom Pedro V Theatre on Saturday, January 16. They will present two iconic ensemble works from the influential German composer, Ludwig van Beethoven.
The orchestra will perform Beethoven’s “String Quartet No. 14 in C-sharp minor,” composed originally in 1826, which the Cultural Affairs Bureau says is both a technically challenging piece and a “remarkable and profound work.”
Also planned for the night is another outstanding piece from the German composer, titled “Serenade for Flute, Violin and Viola in D Major.” The piece features a delicate combination of the three musical instruments, representing the work in a “clear, soft and elegant way.”
The concert, which will commence at 8 p.m., is being held under the supervision and planning of the Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC).
In March last year, the Macau Orchestra held another Beethoven concert, titled “Obsessed with Beethoven,” which featured two pieces: “Wind Octet in E-flat major” and “String Quartet No. 1 in F major.”
Tickets for next Saturday’s show are now available to the public and can be purchased at Macau Ticketing Network outlets. They are priced at MOP120 and MOP100. For more information, interested parties can visit the Macau Orchestra’s website: www.icm.gov.mo/om.
