Improvised sand animation by French artist David Myriam plays a central role in these concerts. As the French artist creates fantastic and poetic figures in moving sand, his evolving creations are projected live, while the Macao Chinese Orchestra sets his art to music with a collection of inspiring and highly evocative pieces, magically guiding his hands through the spell-binding world of Chinese music. These are unique concerts, offering a feast for both the ears and the eyes of the audience.

Duration: approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, including one interval
