The Lost Elephant, a Comedy Concert received overwhelmingly positive feedback.
The Macao Orchestra, under the auspices of the Cultural Affairs Bureau, presented two sessions of Journey into the World of Music – The Lost Elephant, a Comedy Concert on 6 December at the Macao Tower Auditorium. Students from Escola Caritas de Macau and Concordia School of Special Education and their parents were invited to watch the performances and experienced the art of music in such a close distance. Children were provided with adorable animal masks, and the performances went under a pleasure atmosphere. Targeting for education, Journey into the World of Music is an annual music series presented by the Macao Orchestra. With the elements such as mime and magic as well as bilingual interpretation in Chinese and English added to the show this year, children learned from the games. Parents acclaimed the new concepts of performance and hoped that there would be more similar concerts organised by the Macao Orchestra, as these could help to broaden children’s artistic perspectives. The Macao Orchestra invited more than 100 students from Escola Caritas de Macau and Concordia School of Special Education along with their parents to share the beauty and virtue of music. The principals from the two schools were appreciated for the respective arrangements, they considered it as a valuable experience for students to learn from various aspects. The Macao Orchestra will visit several charitable organisations and elderly centres next month, during which they will host a New Year Concert for seniors and minority groups. They will share the New Year blessing and warm regards with the audience, promoting the caring message of communion cross generation and harmony.
