The Macao Cultural Centre, under the auspices of the Cultural Bureau, presents world-renowned singer-songwriter Elvis Costello in a concert to be held at the Grand Auditorium on September 9. Balancing moments of gravity with humour, Costello´s solo appearance brings the audience an intimate lineup in an emotional merge of best songs and new hits performed to the sound of piano and guitar.
Widely known for his unmistakable interpretation of She (soundtrack to “Notting Hill” movie, back in 1999), Costello shot to stardom two decades earlier, thrust by the thrill of new wave and punk movements. His creative restlessness would soon send him rushing through a wide spectrum of pop hits and complex orchestral arrangements. An eclectic genius drive took him to acclaimed partnerships with music giants, from Paul McCartney and Tony Bennett, to trumpet legend Chet Baker or country music icon Johnny Cash. Inspired by a myriad of different genres, he kept pushing boundaries as he stepped into the classical and jazz music sphere with collaborations ranging from the Brodsky Quartet to the Mingus Orchestra or Swedish mezzo soprano Anne Sofie von Otter. After collecting prestigious awards, from the Grammys to the BAFTAs, Rolling Stone Magazine named him in 2004, one of the 100 greatest artists of all time.
