The Macao Orchestra will present three concerts featuring various compositions by the composer–conductor, including his symphonic poem masterworks Don Juan, Op.20, Tod und Verklärung, Op.24 and Eine Alpensinfonie, Op.64 , as well as his last completed works, the Vier letzte Lieder . The latter two will be jointly performed by the Shenzhen Symphony and Macao Orchestras, as part of the 30th Macao Arts Festival. Monumental masterpieces aside, there will be no fewer than four chamber music concerts staging charming pieces by Austrian, Czech, French and German composers at Dom Pedro V Theatre, one of the first European- style theatres in Asia. Constructed in 1860 and named after Portuguese King Pedro V, the neoclassical architecture is an integral part of the Historic Centre of Macau, inscribed on the UNESCOWorld Heritage List since 2005.
