Under the leadership of Music Director and Principal Conductor Lü Jia, the Macao Orchestra begins its 9th Concert Season at a solid, steady pace. With a clear and distinct theme, the programme for the new Concert Season has been cleverly prepared and boasts several stars from the classical music scene as guest performers. On September 4th, the Cuban piano virtuoso Jorge Luis Prats leads the way, opening the 2011-2012 season with the concert “Explosive Virtuosity”, in which he tackles Liszt’s Piano Concertos Nos. 1 and 2 alongside the Macao Orchestra on an all-Liszt programme.
