The Macao Orchestra (OM, from the Portuguese acronym), under the auspices of the Cultural Affairs Bureau, presents the concert “Charming Serenade”, the first chamber music concert of this concert season, on 9 November (Friday), at 8pm, at the Dom Pedro V Theatre, featuring classic serenades composed in different eras, and leading music aficionados to enjoy the beauty of this music genre. Tickets are now available for sale at the Macau Ticketing Network.

People imagine a “Serenade” as a touching scene of a young man playing guitar and singing love songs under the moonlight in front of his lover’s windows. During the classical period, serenades not only maintained lyrical and lingering emotional expressions, but the forms of performance became more flexible. In this concert, OM will interpret four serenades by Mozart, Beethoven, Reger and Milhaud through a variety of chamber music combinations, allowing the audience to discern how composers of different generations convey feelings through music. Tickets are priced at MOP120 and MOP100, with various discount packages available. Ticketing hotline: 2855 5555.

In addition, due to maintenance of the venue, the concert “Mesmerising Austro-German Music”, originally scheduled to be held on 5 January 2019 (Saturday), at 8pm, at the Dom Pedro V Theatre, has been postponed to 27 January 2019 (Sunday), at 8pm. The venue and programme of the performance as well as the ticket prices remain unchanged. Spectators with tickets can enjoy the concert on the new date, 27 January, or may change their tickets at the Macau Ticketing Network outlets from today to 7 January 2019.
