Internationally renowned violinist Julian Rachlin will be joined on stage by Canadian violist Sarah McElravy and the Macao Orchestra to perform a programme of celebrated string works next month.
Classics on Strings will be held at the Macao Cultural Centre Grand Auditorium on Saturday, 14 March, at 8 pm. Beethoven’s Coriolan Overture, Mozart’s Sinfonia Concertante in E-flat Major and Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 3 in A Minor “Scottish” are among the string works that will be performed.
Rachlin, a critically acclaimed violinist, violist and conductor based in Vienna, has collaborated with numerous prestigious international orchestras and conductors over a career spanning more than three decades, most recently serving as Principal Guest Conductor of the Royal Northern Sinfonia in the United Kingdom. Rachlin will also be hosting a free violin masterclass on 13 March at the Macao Cultural Centre, for which prior registration is required.
