We have specially invited the Macao Chinese Orchestra’s old friend Professor Wang Jianhua, percussionist and doctoral advisor at the Central Conservatory of Music, to personally direct this concert. In collaboration with the percussion section of the Macao Chinese Orchestra, he will present an original “feast” of Chinese percussion music to the audience. The driven, freedom-yearning Havoc in Heaven has its premiere in Macao; the exploratory, striving Camel Bells in the Desert and Melody of Drums, a Chinese drum classic representing the essence, energy and spirit of Chinese percussion music, will create drumming sounds that resonate through Macao!
