Music is present in daily life and classical musical is no longer restricted to  concert halls. The Macao Orchestra (OM, from the Portuguese acronym), under the auspices of the Cultural Affairs Bureau, presents concerts in different cultural venues this weekend, namely at the Tap Seac Gallery on Friday, 24 February at 6pm and at the Macao Museum of Art on Sunday, 26 February at 3pm, filling these magnificent venues with classical music and also offering the public an artistic experience simultaneously visual and aural. Admission is free and seats are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

The first concert “Music In Tap Seac Gallery” will be held on Friday at the distinctive historic Tap Seac Gallery, featuring two string quartets, namely Mozart’s Divertimento in F Major and Haydn’s String Quartet in B flat Major. On Sunday, OM moves to the Macao Museum of Art to present the concert “Music in the Macao Museum of Art”, featuring Danzi’s Wind Quintet in A Major, Op. 68 No.1 and Ibert’s Three short pieces, offering music aficionados refined chamber music performances. The performances aim to integrate arts with music and promote a cultural ambience in the community.

Admission to these two concerts is free. For details and enquiries about the concerts’ programmes, please call IC through tel. no. 2853 0782, during office hours, or visit OM’s webpage at www.om-macau.org.
