About the Concert

In line with its mission to provide a performance platform for local young musicians, the Macau Piano Association has been organizing the "Macau Young Pianists Series" since 2009. This initiative helps young Macau pianists pursuing professional studies realize their dream of performing in Macau. To date, the series has successfully featured dozens of local young pianists from various music conservatories and universities.

This concert features a duo performance by two professional young artists who graduated from the United States: a pianist and a saxophonist. They will perform a selection of classic classical pieces and duets.
