Music | OM to play Valentine’s Day concert

The Macao Orchestra (OM) will present the “Valentine’s Day Concert – Piano in Love” on February 16 at 8 p.m. at the Macau Cultural Centre Grand Auditorium. Under the baton of local conductor Lio Kuokman, the orchestra will join with Chinese pianist Chen Sa to present a repertoire specially selected for Valentine’s Day.

This year marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of Clara Schumann, a remarkable pianist and composer of the 19th century, highly accomplished in the fields of piano performance and music composition. Her loyalty and love to her husband Robert Schumann, and her lifelong friendship with composer Johannes Brahms have also become immortal, much-told stories. In commemoration of these three musicians, the programme of this Valentine’s Day concert features Robert Schumann’s Overture to Genoveva, Clara Schumann’s Piano Concerto in A minor and Johannes Brahms’ Symphony No. 4 in E minor.

Tickets for the “Valentine’s Day Concert – Piano in Love” are priced at MOP250, MOP200 and MOP150, with various discount packages available.
