Two concerts will be held at the D Pedro V Theatre on Friday and Saturday as pre-opening events of the 29th Macau International Music Festival. Titled “Bravo Macau,” both concerts are being organized by the Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC) and will feature performances by young local musicians, namely violinist Sophia Feinga Su, saxophonist Hugo Loi, pianist Ray Long and violist Katy Ho.
The four musicians have been winning awards from a young age and have been admitted to top-notch institutions where they have honed their skills, unleashing their natural talent. Fourteen-year old Sophia Feinga Su currently attends the prestigious Juilliard School of Music in the U.S.A., and was the youngest ever participant in the Macau Young Musicians Competition to be awarded the IC Prize, in 2008. Hugo Loi is dedicated to music training, teaching at the Macau Conservatory and several local schools. He became the first representative of the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague to perform solo abroad and conduct exchange sessions with students at the University of Ghana, in Africa, in 2013.
Ray Long graduated with first class honors from the Royal College of Music in the United Kingdom, and has received second prize and the Brighton Fund Prize award at UK’s Springboard, amongst other important awards.
Katy Ho also graduated and completed a master’s degree at the Juilliard School of Music and was awarded a scholarship by the same school last year. She now teaches music courses at public schools in New York.
According to an announcement made by the IC yesterday, tickets for both concerts “are now limited.”
