The Macao Chinese Orchestra (OCHM) performed in the Grand Auditorium of the Macau Cultural Centre (CCM) on Sunday, featuring three pieces of music “The Silk Road Fantasia Suite Concerto for Soprano Saxophone”, “Postcard from Macao” and “Marimba and Chinese Orchestra ‘Prism Rhapsody’”.
The Macau Post Daily published two exclusive interviews separately with saxophone player Timothy Sun who played solo in “Silk Road” on March 15, and with OCHM’s principal guest conductor and artistic advisor Yeh Tsung on February 9.
According to an OCHM statement, the Silk Road Fantasia Suite is a piece based on a variety of ethnic and folk musical elements, featuring a skilful integration of Western compositional techniques with Chinese ethnic and folk music to captures the essence of Xiyu [Western Territories], which roughly corresponds to today’s Xinjiang region.
