09.05The Rui Cunha Foundation presents today, Saturday, May 9th at 5:00pm, another “Mars Lei Vocal Students Recital II”, as part of the musical concert series Nam Van Sound Waves, co-organized by the Macau Vocal Association.

This Bel Canto session brings a group of four students from Beijing Normal University – Hong Kong Baptist University (BNBU), in Zhuhai, who study under musical vocal teacher Mars Lei, an accomplished pianist, guitarist, choral conductor, arranger, and a baritone classic performer himself.

This time, sopranos Lene Zhang (張書涵), Vicky Wu (巫嘉蔚), Laura Liu (劉芸菲), and Annika Huang (黃家茵), will be accompanied by pianists Eileen Wei (魏小媛), Abbie Chen (陳彥陶), Winnie Song (宋奇睿), and Mercury Wang (王鉦淼), respectively.

They will perform classical pieces from composers Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Franz Schubert, Vincenzo Bellini, Robert Schumann, Giuseppe Verdi, Giovanni Paisiello, Johann Strauss II, Joaquín Rodrigo, Giacomo Puccini, and Gaetano Donizetti.

Bel Canto is considered the maximum expression of human voice. The Italian term was coined in the 18th century and is still today taught in a similar way as in the past. This vocal technique emphasizes the beauty of sound and the technical capacity of the artist, instead of the dramatic expression or romantic emotion.

The Macau Vocal Association, founded in 2010, aims to promote the development of the art of vocal music in Macau – which includes opera, classical bel canto, and choral singing –, fulfilling the mission of disseminating it among young peopleand the general public. The series of recitals and concerts held in partnership with schools and community institutions in the territory intend to provide, through music, a space for well-being and moral, intellectual, aesthetic, physical and social balance, for people of all ages in their free time.
