5 Amidst intense fervour and excitement, we welcome the Silver Jubilee of the Macao International Music Festival! In celebration of the 25 th anniversary of this splendid cultural and artistic event, we have organised a fascinating programme on an unprecedented scale, dedicating ourselves to this year s Festival with special enthusiasm and far-reaching vision. The silver curtain parts for the first time this Fall on an inspiring Broadway musical, followed by a host of superbly talented international groups and musicians, travelling to Macao to light up our Festival stage. Unique performances at World Heritage sites combine architecture and the culture of music, emanating the mystique of living history. After an entire month of listening pleasure, this feast for the ears draws to a close with a sober grand opera, sure to leave lingering traces of its poetic melodies in the hearts of aficionados. Whilst catering for the most demanding musical tastes, the Macao International Music Festival also attends to the needs of the general public. This year, the renowned Hac Sa Beach tourist spot serves as a performing venue for the first time, hosting a rock n roll double-bill performed against the backdrop of blue sky and vast ocean. Macao s young adults can tap into the pulse and energy of life in the freedom of an outdoor setting, contributing their joy as well to this Silver Jubilee Festival. To share with those less fortunate the abundance we enjoy in our Silver Jubilee s feast for the senses, the Festival will join hands, for the first time, with the international non-profit medical and educational organisation ORBIS, donating the full proceeds of one concert to their work on the prevention and treatment of blindness. This charitable note in the enchanting sound of music lends the 25 th Macao International Music Festival even deeper significance. Some 20 top-notch programmes in various genres will grace the Festival s stages with brio and élan. Music lovers will witness the enthralling charm of world-class orchestras, glimpse the refinement and delicacy of classical chamber music, relish the golden voices of a brass band and savour enchanting performances by first-class international soloists and accomplished singers. I, along with all my team members, sincerely hope that music lovers from all over the world may share in the aesthetic experience that is the Macao International Music Festival, together expanding our horizons and opening our hearts to be closer to Macao, to music and to a better world! On this Lotus Island replete with World Heritage sites, we treasure our traditions. In this spirit, the Festival has specially invited an inheritor of China s National Intangible Cultural Heritage to perform the timeless music of the guqin an ancient classical instrument that flourished in times of prosperity in a concert at a World Heritage site. There could be no more appropriate way to celebrate history and commemorate this Silver Jubilee. Ung Vai Meng President of the Cultural Affairs Bureau of the Macao S.A.R. Government

7 First, let me say it is a great honour to serve as Artistic Director of the Macao International Music Festival (MIMF). I have walked this path for a remarkable decade together with the residents of Macao, and this year marks the Festival s 25 th anniversary. This was not an easy milestone to reach, but I can now look back with pride on the MIMF a splendid musical event that not only music aficionados but everyone can delight in savouring. The Festival is dedicated to bringing world-renowned musicians and musical groups to Macao year after year, giving residents the consistent opportunity to know and understand new facets of the international musical arena. Over the last decade, in adhering to this fundamental principle we have endeavoured to shape the Festival stage as a space for the performance of distinguished music by acclaimed musical talent. At the same time, we have not neglected the musical prowess of our local artists and continue to provide Macao musicians with the opportunity to showcase their talent. In its 25 years of existence, the MIMF has inscribed for itself a host of unforgettable moments on the pages of Macao s cultural history. The annual presence of distinguished, world-class artists and ensembles has, indeed, crowned this small city with a shining musical halo. Macao International Music Festival, I bask in your reflected glory! Warren Mok Present Artistic Director of the MIMF

9 The creation of a rich and generous cultural event that would place Macao squarely on the international stage, that would function as a magnet for cultural tourism and serve as a catalyst for the development of local musical productions these were the cornerstones of my proposal and my fight to create the Macao International Music Festival 25 years ago. Cotrubas, Christa Ludwig, Alfredo Kraus, Peter Schreier, Sándor Végh, Teresa Berganza, Moura Lympany, Claudio Scimone, Ferruccio Furlanetto, Lucia Valentini Terrani, Michel Corboz... may I express my sincerest gratitude! I also owe a friendly word to the Secretary-General Jorge Forjaz for his excellent collaboration and for structuring the Festival so brilliantly. For all that to materialise, I relied on the unconditional support of the Government of Macao and that of local cultural associations, as well as friendly participation from some of the biggest international names, who brought their superlative art to Macao. To Audrey Hepburn, Ileana To see 25 years later the MIMF still there, solid, respected, is for me a source of great pride! Congratulations MIMF! Congratulations Macao! Adriano Jordão Artistic Director of the MIMF from 1987 to 1991 São Paulo, June of 2011 (Translated from Portuguese)

11 The organisation of a Festival for the 25 th year in a row is certainly an historic milestone. Therefore, congratulations are due to the Macao International Music Festival (MIMF) and to Macao itself, not just for pioneering this type of event in the territory, but also for being responsible for a great cultural leap forward. Having begun with the week-long schedule programmed at the Festival s infancy, having grown to the 15-day calendar of performances organised during the period of my artistic direction already including the annual staging of a full scale opera and now having arrived at the current festival model, which spans an entire month and boasts a programme featuring three operas, one of which is Chinese, this event has indeed witnessed a great leap forward. It has, without a doubt, added cultural value to this territory a fact underscored by the excellent quality of the artists the Festival has assembled in Macao. But the MIMF has done much more than engage Festival rosters of nationally and internationally renowned artists. The Cultural Affairs Bureau must also pride itself on its contribution, through multidisciplinary action, to the sustainability of two extremely relevant and permanent artistic endeavours: the Macao Chinese Orchestra and the Macao Orchestra the latter of which is suited to the grand symphonic repertoire and opera, enabling the interpretation of any musical score. For all this and for the numerous other artistic events it organises throughout the year the Cultural Affairs Bureau of the Macao SAR and the MIMF are to be congratulated! I am certain that in the future new artistic directors will expand even further upon the already ambitious offerings being presented in the Festival s current era. I also believe that it is necessary to let the world know what is being done here via radio, television, the Internet and the written word. Today s Macao deserves, without the slightest doubt, international recognition for its cultural activities. Congratulations! João Pereira Bastos Director of the MIMF from 1992 to 1999 Programmer of the inaugural performances at the Macao Cultural Centre (1999) Lisbon, 12 th June 2011 (Translated from Portuguese)

19 9, / 3pm ( 9, ), 8pm ( ) / Mandarin s House / Tickets / MOP 150 Every one of us was young and carefree once, and he was no exception... In his early years, Dr. Sun Yat-sen was full of ambition, studying Western science and medicine whilst thoroughly preparing himself to walk the path of revolution. Nevertheless, the forward-thinking young Sun could not completely break free of old-fashioned customs. He was forced into an arranged marriage with a girl from his hometown, whom he had never met. Extremely reluctant, he began to nurture an immense resentment for the corrupt officials and backward ways of the Qing Court, and he vowed then and there to overthrow the Dynasty. The Production: Spring-Time Stage Productions (Hong Kong SAR) Co-Production: Theatre Farmers (Macao SAR) Director / Executive Producer: Yu Kin Sang Script Consultant: Shun Bit Tat History Consultant: Dr. Ting Sun Pao Joseph Producer: Ko Chi Sum Script / Lyrics: Choi Cho Fai Additional music selected by Nancy Loo Theme Song Composer: Tonia Ko pioneering political careers of Dr. Sun Yat-sen and his close friends, nicknamed the Si Da Kou (Four Bandits), began here! The musical Rising Sun portrays Dr. Sun Yat-sen from his rebellious youth until the crucial moment when the buds of revolutionary thought began to blossom within him. The 2008 premiere was performed in Hong Kong to great acclaim, and the show was revived again last year to an even more enthusiastic response. This year, Hong Kong Springtime Stage Productions joins hands with Macao s Theatre Farmers to present this revolutionary drama at the historic Mandarin s House, recreating an intensely keen yet little-known period of Dr. Sun Yat-sen s life.

20 / Monday VIENNA PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA (Austria) There is perhaps no other musical ensemble more consistently and closely associated with the history and tradition of European classical music than the Vienna Philharmonic. In the course of its more than 160 years of history, this most prominent orchestra of the capital city of music and its musicians have been an integral part of a musical epoch, which, due to an abundance of uniquely gifted composers and interpreters, must certainly be regarded as unique. Since its inception under Otto Nicolai in 1842, the orchestra has exerted a fascination upon prominent composers and conductors, as well as on audiences all over the world, based not only on a homogenous musical style carefully bequeathed from one generation to the next, but also on its unique structure and history. The musicians endeavour to implement the motto with which Ludwig van Beethoven, whose symphonic works served as a catalyst for the creation of the orchestra, prefaced his Missa Solemnis: From the heart, to the heart. Conductor Christoph Eschenbach

23 / 8pm / Macao Cultural Centre Grand Auditorium / Tickets / MOP 200, 150, 100 The vocal ensemble Introitus was formed 10 years ago by vocalists from various backgrounds and groups, among them the Choir of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon. The Ensemble set out to interpret musical pieces ranging from Gregorian Chant to works from the 21 st century, with a special emphasis on music from the 12 th to 16 th centuries and works by Portuguese authors Under the artistic direction of Filipe Faria and Sérgio Peixoto, Sete Lágrimas is one of Europe s most innovative consorts. Specialising in ancient and contemporary music, the group seeks out a dialogue between the ancient and the contemporary and explores the blurred frontier between art music and the popular traditions. Ensemble Vocal Introitus: Frederico Projecto, / 1 st Tenor Sérgio Peixoto, / 1 st Tenor Manuel Líbano Monteiro, / 2 nd Tenor and Artistic Direction Pedro Rodrigues, / 2 nd Tenor Victor Gaspar, / Baritone Fernando Gomes, / Baritone Filipe Leal, / Bass Rui Borras, / Bass Tiago Freire, / Cornetto and flutes Sete Lágrimas: Filipe Faria, / Voice and Co-artistic Direction Sérgio Peixoto, / Voice and Co-artistic Direction Tiago Matias, / Baroque Guitar and Lute Mário Franco, / Double Bass Rui Silva, / Percussion The dialogue, competition, conflict and fusion of religious and secular music eventually led to a merging of these genres. Examples of this style are the anthems of medieval Christians, the French motets of the 13 th century, the Italian folk songs of the 13 th to 15 th centuries, songs of praise, traditional melodies such as lullabies and the adaptation of secular polyphony to sacred themes in the so called spiritual songs of the Renaissance. This concert is a visit to this crossroads in our history with choral pieces that are common, yet sometimes criticised. One thing is for sure, they contribute to life as we know it today and are, in their beauty, an insight into the vast musical panorama of the Mediterranean region. Duration: approximately 1 hour and 35 minutes, no interval Acknowledgement Benefited organization The audience is kindly requested to arrive at the venue by 7:45pm due to special arrangements.

Use Me Blackbird Special We Got Robbed

43 / 8pm / Macao Cultural Centre Small Auditorium / Tickets / MOP 250, 200 In 1977, the Dirty Dozen Social and Pleasure Club, based in New Orleans, Louisiana, began showcasing a traditional Crescent City brass band. Brass bands, early predecessors of jazz as we know it, would often follow funeral processions playing sombre dirges, and then once the family of the deceased was out of earshot, they would burst into jubilant dance tunes as casual onlookers danced along in the streets. By the late 70s, few of these bands existed. The Dirty Dozen Social and Pleasure Club decided to form a group of musicians into a house band, and over the course of their early gigs, the seven-member ensemble adopted the venue s name: the Dirty Dozen Brass Band. Thirty years later, the Dirty Dozen Brass Band is a world famous music machine, whose name is synonymous with genre-bending romps and high-octane performances. They have revitalised the brass band in New Orleans and around the world, progressing from local parties, clubs, baseball games and festivals in their early years to touring nearly constantly in the US and more than 30 other countries on five continents. The Dirty Dozen have been featured guests on albums by artists including David Bowie, Elvis Costello, Dr. John and the Black Crowes. Duration: approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, including one interval

45 / 6pm / Hac Sa Beach / Free Admission Ary dos Santos The honeyed tones and sensitive interpretation of António Zambujo have propelled him to the vanguard of modern fado singers in international circles and certified his status a unique voice on Lisbon s fado scene. Zambujo s musical education included study of the clarinet and classical guitar, and he grew up steeped in the music of his home region, the canto alentejano, a form of chant for male choir originating in the South of Portugal which is infused with influences from neighbouring North Africa. Add to this his passions for jazz and Brazilian music, his readiness to experiment, sometimes controversially, with instrumentation, his unexpected collaborations with artists such as the Bulgarian choir Angelite and top Portuguese pop and jazz singers, and you have an artist who is expanding the horizons of traditional fado while remaining committed to exploring its roots. Assembled by producer Renato Jr. in homage to the late poet José Carlos Ary dos Santos on the 25 th anniversary of his death, Rua da Saudade unites four of Portugal s most renowned female vocalists: Susana Félix, Viviane, Luanda Cozetti and Mafalda Arnauth. This Portuguese supergroup released their smash hit debut, Canções de Ary dos Santos in 2009, with the singers taking turns interpreting jazz-pop settings of the revolutionary poet s words by such composers as Fernando Tordo, Nuno Nazareth Fernandes and Tozé Brito. Canções de Ary dos Santos peaked at number two on the Portuguese charts and spent ten weeks in the Top Ten. The show Ar de Rock named in honour of the Father of Portuguese Rock, Rui Veloso is a journey through time via the best in modern music from Portugal. Musicians from a number of Portugal s most celebrated bands join forces to recreate live, on stage, some of the most cherished songs in Portuguese rock culture. Produced by UGURU Music and directed by Fernando Cunha (founding member of the Delfins), Ar de Rock invites audiences on an unforgettable musical voyage filled with surprises, and the opportunity to witness blockbuster Portuguese artists from various groups in a rare musical collaboration.

The resounding success of the 1821 premiere of Carl Maria von Weber s masterwork practically guaranteed its status as a manifesto for German Romantic opera, one that would become a significant formative influence on Richard Wagner. The story of a forest gamekeeper who makes a deal with the dark side to win a shooting contest and the hand of his beloved, Der Freischütz broke new ground with its potent mixture of supernatural elements, dreams, folk melodies, evocations of nature and symphonic tone painting. With its beloved overture, Huntsmen s Chorus and the famously eerie Wolf s Glen scene, Der Freischütz is an unforgettable piece of musical theatre and an operatic event not to be missed!
