The Macao Orchestra is slated to hold their 2023-24 season closing concert this Saturday at 8 p.m. at the Macau Cultural Centre (CCM) Grand Auditorium under the baton of the orchestra’s Music Director and Principal Conductor Lio Kuokman and featuring renowned Japanese pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii.
A statement from the Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC) noted that the concert, titled “Pushing Boundaries – Nobuyuki Tsujii with Macao Orchestra”, will have the pianist present Russian composer Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 3 in D major, while the orchestra will also perform Pyotr Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake Suite.
Born blind, the statement said that Tsujii “has exceptional talent and musical ability”. He won gold at the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition in 2009 at the age of 20, being the award’s first Japanese winner and the first blind pianist to win an international piano competition.
The statement added that he has released multiple recordings and collaborated with many orchestras worldwide.
There will be a cocktail reception at 7 p.m. before the concert on CCM’s 2nd floor, with tickets priced at 80 patacas. More details available on www.macauticket.com or by contacting 2855 5555.
