High Life

HIGH LIFE #10 Jul 2017 109 于 2003年正式成立的澳门乐团，前身是已故区师达神父 于1983年创立的澳门室内乐团。澳门是一座荟萃中西 文化的城市，而澳门乐团则是其最佳写照。多年来，外籍乐师 们在澳门乐团的发展道路上扮演了关键角色，在充实及丰富澳 门文化艺术方面亦贡献良多。 于2015 年加入澳门乐团的大提琴乐师马高·告鲁克，正 是乐团众多杰出外籍乐师中的一员。仪表儒雅且态度亲切的告 鲁克，本身即多元文化的集大成者。其父为西班牙人，其母则 为奥地利人。他从小在西班牙长大，及后在德国和美国接受音 乐教育及训练，并曾效力于欧洲以及北美地区多个乐团。早在 孩童时期，他已经立志要成为乐师。 他回忆道，“四岁那年，我参加了一场古典音乐会，从此 被大提琴所深深吸引，并从八岁起认真学习这门乐器。” F ounded in 1983 by the late Áureo da Costa Nunes e Castro as the Macao Chamber Orchestra, Macao Orchestra was established in its current form in 2003. Macao Orchestra is a microcosm of the eponymous city, where European and Asian cultures merge with each other and fuse into one. Over the decades, western musicians have been pivotal in the development of the Macao Orchestra, thereby enriching the cultural life of the city. None better exemplify these qualities than Marko Klug, cellist with Macao Orchestra since 2015. Cordial and gentlemanly, Marko Klug is himself a fusion of divergent cultures. Born to a Spanish father and an Austrian mother, he grew up in Spain, studied and trained in Germany and the US and has played in various ensembles in Europe and North America. His “Damascene moment” of musical calling came very early.
