The 29th Macao International Music Festival (MIMF) will be officially inaugurated on Sunday, 4 October, at the Macau Cultural Centre lobby, starting at 7:40pm.
The opening concert, ‘Gustav Mahler – Symphony No. 3’, lead by Macau Orchestra’s Principal Conductor, Lü Jia, features world-renowned mezzo-soprano Charlotte Hellekant, the Macau Orchestra, the China NCPA Orchestra and Choir, and the Macau Youth Choir.
Organized by the Cultural Affairs Bureau, this year’s MIMF includes several highlights, such as the highly sought-after opening concert and the closing performance ‘Faust – Opera in 5 Acts’ by Charles Gounod, among other sold out performances.
Other remarkable MIMF shows will feature Gidon Kremer with Kremerata Baltica in the concerts ‘Masks and Faces’ and ‘New Seasons’, the video project ‘Russia: Masks and Faces’ and the Asian première of the Violin Concerto No. 2 ‘The American Four Seasons’ by Phillip Glass.
Pedro Moutinho, one of today’s most renowned fado voices, will partner with Portuguese accordion quartet Danças Ocultas in a concert at Mount Fortress.
