Macao Orchestra’s Concerts “Peter and the Wolf” bring joy to the public

Journey into the World of Music - Peter and the Wolf

The Macao Orchestra (OM), under the auspices of the Cultural Affairs Bureau, presented the two concerts “Journey into the World of Music - Peter and the Wolf” on 18 December, at 2:30pm and 5pm, respectively, at the Macao Tower Auditorium. Students from Escola Caritas de Macau and the Concordia School for Special Education accompanied by parents were invited for the concerts which also featured cartoon decorations and photo shooting activities, offering a lively and cheerful atmosphere.

The concert series “Journey into the World of Music” is an educational series held by the Orchestra annually. This year, OM played the classical musical fairy tale “Peter and the Wolf” in collaboration with Platypus Theatre from Canada, whose humorous narrative accompanied by particular instruments, encouraged the imagination of both children and adults. The assistant conductor of the OM, Francis Kan, led this classic in a vivid way and interacted with the audience bringing joy and musical inspiration to children.

Nearly 100 students from Escola Caritas de Macau and the Concordia School for Special Education were invited by OM to enjoy the concerts, sharing the happiness of music. Principals of both schools expressed their gratitude for OM’s arrangement and believed it was a rare opportunity for the students, hoping they were inspired by the music and learn from this exciting experience.

The Macao Orchestra will visit a number of charitable organizations and elderly homes next month to share the warmth of the Chinese New Year with the elderly and vulnerable groups by holding New Year concerts. The event aims to promote trans-generational harmony and coexistence.
