Astor Pantaleón Piazzolla was an Argentine tango composer, bandoneon player and arranger. His works revolutionized the traditional tango into a new style called “Nuevo Tango” started during the 1950’s, incorporating elements from jazz and classical music. With all the particular elements, rhythms and variations of the tango, the excitement will continue with “West Side Story” composed by the late multi-talented composer, pianist, conductor and music educator Maestro Leonard Bernstein. The Macao Orchestra on this occasion will ardently interpret works of these two masters of emotions. Between these works, the new generation percussionist Liu Heng will perform, accompanied by the Macao Orchestra, the Concerto for Marimba and String Orchestra, full of zesty Brazilian fervor, composed by Ney Rosauro. What an evening of music this will be!!
