James Galway
James Galway, the master orchestral musician and solo flautist who has earned the title “The Man of the Golden Flute,” is scheduled to perform a recital at the Macau
Cultural Center (CCM) in late January.
In his Macau debut, Galway will bring interpretations of a wide range of masterpieces by musical legends such as Philippe Gaubert, Cécile Chaminade and baroque master Marin Marais, among many others.
Mr Galway is regarded by many as a passionate advocate for the making and teaching of music, and one who crosses musical boundaries as both an orchestral player and a soloist. He has played with some of the most prestigious orchestras in the world, including the Royal Philharmonic, the London Symphony Orchestra, and the Berlin Philharmonic.
While he has sold over 30 million albums, Galway has also collaborated on respected projects such as the soundtrack to “The Lord of the Rings,” and has performed with Ray Charles, Elton John and Andrea Bocelli.
He was honored twice by Queen Elizabeth II for his services to music and has won numerous prizes, such as the Gramophone Lifetime Award.
The master flautist’s concert is organized by CCM, and will be staged in the Grand Auditorium. Tickets for the performance will be available from this Sunday at CCM’s box office and through Macau Ticketing Network outlets.
