The Macao Orchestra (OM, from the Portuguese acronym), under the auspices of the Cultural Affairs Bureau, presented the concert \u201cPiano Giant\u201d, part of the Shining Virtuosos series, on 20 January, at the Macao Cultural Centre Grand Auditorium. Renowned Austrian pianist Stefan Vladar, who was the youngest winner in the history of the International Beethoven Piano Competition in Vienna and a widely-acclaimed interpreter of Beethoven\u2019s masterpieces, gave a magnificent performance of Beethoven\u2019s signature piece, the Piano Concerto No. 2 in B-flat Major, followed by OM\u2019s performance of Bruckner\u2019s Study Symphony, among other works. Under the baton of OM\u2019s Music Director Lu Jia, the Orchestra brilliantly presented the distinctive and intense German and Austrian classical music, and was well-received by the audience. An autograph session by Vladar was held at the same venue after the performance, in which the pianist received an overwhelming support from music aficionados.<\/p>\n

Remarkable Austrian pianist Stefan Vladar faultlessly rendered Beethoven\u2019s Piano Concerto No. 2 in B-flat Major, a masterpiece rarely brought to stage, in the \u201cPiano Giant\u201d concert with his sophisticated technique and musicianship. OM then presented Austrian composer Anton Bruckner\u2019s Study Symphony, which has kept the lowest profile among the composer\u2019s symphonies so far in terms of its frequency of performance and first edition of the score. It was indeed a precious chance to see this symphony on stage.<\/p>\n

On the day before the concert was held, the Macao Orchestra specially organized the \u201cPiano Master Class with Stefan Vladar\u201d, in which pianist Stefan Vladar coached and exchanged views with Macao music aficionados, expanding their horizons and enriching their performing experience.<\/p>\n

In addition, the Macao Orchestra will present the chamber music concert \u201cListen to Winds\u201d on Friday, 26 January, at 8pm, at the Dom Pedro V Theatre. The sharing session \u201cMusic Hour with Musicians\u201d will be held specially before the concert starts, featuring OM\u2019s Principal Oboe Kai Sai and Principal Flute Weng Sibei, who will perform some musical pieces to participants. All music aficionados are welcome to share and exchange views with the musicians.<\/p>\n
