Macau Orchestra fans will be delighted to know that its latest offering of "Chamber Music Series - Sentimental Russia" will be held in the historic Dom Pedro V Theatre, where it will perform "String Quartet No. 2 in D major" by composer Alexander Borodin, "Trio élégiaque No. 1 in G minor" by Sergei Rachmaninov, "Overture on Hebrew Themes in C minor, op. 34" by Sergei Prokofiev and "Octet for Winds" by Igor Stravinsky.

Macau Orchestra will also play at the Macau Cultural Centre, where it will perform the "Special Productions Series - Opera in Concert Tosca" accompanied by the Chorus of the Shanghai Opera House, Lisa Russell, Carlo Barricelli, and François Harismendy.
