SUMMARY:John Stowell Group Live in LMA

He has taught internationally for over 40 years in every educational setting.\nHis clinics are informal\, hands-on and informative. In addition to music theory and guidelines for improvisation\, John shares his professional experience with the business of music. \nStowell began his successful career in the early 1970’s with private study with guitarist Linc Chamberland and pianist John Mehegan.

SUMMARY:Opera Hong Kong: Mozart’s Opera — Don Giovanni
DESCRIPTION:Highlighting its 16th anniversary year\, Opera Hong Kong (OHK) presents one of the most performed operas around the world — Don Giovanni to Hong Kong audience with shows on May 17\, 18 and 19\, 2019\, in the Grand Theatre of Hong Kong Cultural Centre. \nIn the 17th century\, the story of the legendary\, fictional libertine\, Don Juan (also Don Giovanni)\, had swept through Spain. His story was extremely intriguing that it was made into numerous versions such as the play Dom Juan ou le Festin de pierre by Molière\, one of the greatest French playwright\, the epic poem version by Lord Byron\, the most influential and significant British poet\, and arguably the most well-known version — Mozart’s opera Don Giovanni\, which we will be able to appreciate in May. \nWith music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Italian libretto by Lorenzo Da Ponte\, Don Giovanni was first performed in 1787. Back then\, Mozart conducted the world premiere of Don Giovanni himself in the National Theatre in Prague\, which was rapturously received by the audience and was reputed to be an extremely hard-to-perform opera that people have never heard the like. The two-act opera portrays Don Giovanni’s life of seducing and sweet talking his way into the beds of countless women\, Leporello\, Giovanni’s servant making record of his master’s encounters\, and how Giovanni ends up in a dead end with hatred\, revenges and death after killing the Commendatore when he fails to seduce the Commendatore’s daughter\, Donna Anna. \nRichard Ollarsaba and Marcelo Guzzo will be starred as the leading role of the infamous Spanish womanizer\, Don Giovanni.

SUMMARY:Bar Stories Chapter 38 – Jerry Thomas Speakeasy

SUMMARY:Venetian's North Presents a Guizhou Cuisine Promotion
DESCRIPTION:Award-winning North restaurant at The Venetian Macao has launched a Guizhou cuisine promotion from now until July 31\, 2019. Different from other Chinese regional specialities\, Guizhou cuisine has a distinctive character that is not only spicy but also offers unique flavour profiles. The promotion is being overseen by a chef at North who is a Guizhou native. It features delectable regional dishes including deep-fried pork ribs with coriander and preserved vegetables; rice noodle soup with braised beef\, tripe and pickled vegetables; poached sliced beef\, bean curd and bean sprouts; and Guizhou’s most popular dish – poached whole catfish in a classic sour soup with dipping sauce. \nOne of China’s most famous cuisines\, while Guizhou is spicy its added sour factor gives it a pungent yet delicious flavour. The classic broth used as a base for many of its dishes is typically made from fermenting rice\, rice wine\, tomatoes\, red pepper\, garlic and ginger – originally a process for keeping food fresh in the very humid climate\, before becoming an integral part of Guizhou’s signature taste. In support of Guizhou farmers\, North is importing organic produce and ingredients for the promotion from the southwest China province. \nWhen: May 23–July 31\, 2019 \nWhere: North\, The Venetian\, Estrada da Baia de Nossa Senhora da Esperanca\, Cotai \nFor reservation or inquiries\, call +853 8118 9980\, or email north.reservation@sands.com.mo

In addition to film screenings\, the event will include a Pizzica concert\, at the Shouson Theatre\, by one of the best Salento folk music bands\, “Officina Zoè”; powerful ethno-trance-therapeutic music! The eighth annual edition of the Hong Kong Salento International Film Festival\, is part of “Fare Cinema”\, a project wanted by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs with the support of the diplomatic consular network and the Italian Cultural Institutes to promote abroad quality Italian film productions. HKSIFF highlights world-class independent films with an Italian and international focus. \n \nSince 2004\, SIFF has been screening the world’s best indie films to large international audiences: a unique opportunity to watch the real independent cinema. Many of the festival’s “Official Selection” films become part of SIFF WORLD\, which takes the films on tour every year through about 14 cities such as Hong Kong\, Yerevan\, Moscow\, St. Petersburg\, Santiago de Chile\, London\, Oslo and many more. The Salento International Film Festival brings to Hong Kong a selection of the Best of the Fest 2018 Edition\, to be screened at the Hong Kong Arts Centre – Louis Koo Cinema\, one of the six best arthouse cinemas in Hong Kong. This movie spot has attracted its fair share of film lovers by showing alternatives to the latest hits.

The 2019 selection includes the new film “Agadah”\, from Italian director Alberto Rondalli\, inspired by the famous Jan Potocki’s Manuscript found in Zaragoza (1805)\, one of the great classics of European literature. An Italian film between fantasy and adventure with a great and sumptuous weaving of images. Ulisse Lendaro\, an Italian film director\, presents his first feature directorial debut “Imperfect Age”. A film which goes straight to the heart of emotions. The imperfect age\, adolescence\, with all its excesses and\, indeed\, its innumerable imperfections. Camilla is a seventeen-year-old girl who has the dream of becoming a dancer\, despite her mother’s concerns. One day\, at a dance lesson\, she meets Sara\, an aspiring dancer like her\, and her life will never be the same again. \n“Domino Effect”\, directed by Fabio Massa\, tells the story of Lorenzo\, a thirty-year-old who finally realizes his dream of going to Africa to teach.

The film tells the story of a detainee who takes permission from the warden for a 72-hour leave after six years of imprisonment. He is out in order to bury his wife and to attend her burial ceremony\, but his mind is busy with something else. \nKate Bohan is a Chinese-American writer and director. After writing and directing “Kayla’s World”\, an award-winning short film based on her daughter’s life\, she decided to turn the story into a feature length drama. It took her two years to write a screenplay and finally turn it into her first feature film “Kayla”\, a touching movie that tells a story of life and death\, losing and gaining. Seven-year-old girl Kayla is forced to find balance between Chinese and Western culture. Kayla has a happy family – her mother comes from China\, her father from the United States. After losing her father unexpectedly\, her life changes forever. Her dreams and hopes are mercilessly taken away. She now has to grow up quickly to take care of her sick mother\, and Kayla learns how to deal with poor and gruelling situations while missing her father deeply. But she still inspires the people around her with love and singing and always finds courage\, even when she feels lost. \nExperience Traditional Southern Italian Music by Officina Zoè  \nSince the early 90s\, Officina Zoè has become one of the most well-known Italian musical groups for “pizzica tarantata”\, an ancient rhythm from the Salento Area. Their exciting and touching music is regarded therapeutic and hilarious with a compelling hypnotic expression.  With their dance and obsessive movement\, “Pizzica” was used in the past as a trance vehicle or even as a therapeutic source\, one of the strongest elements in the musical rebirth of the whole of Southern Italy. Thanks to Officina Zoè\, the Pizzica dance has become popular in all the European capitals\, as well as in the United States\, Tokyo\, Rome\, Paris\, Berlin\, Amsterdam\, Bruxelles\, Cairo\, Split\, Cyprus\, Milan\, Seoul\, Geneva\, Ljubljana\, Prague\, Lisbon\, London\, Lorrach.

SUMMARY:Buddhistson with The Lovesong and Smellyhoover
DESCRIPTION:Buddhistson is a charming indie rock band from Kashiwa\, Japan. Shima (songwriter/vocal/guitar) started the band in 1999 along with Marcy (drums) and Yas (bass). Yumi (keys) and Yoshii (guitar) joined the band a bit later\, and they have been making music and touring together ever since. They have been fortunate to share the stage with bands such as The Appleseed Cast\, Anathallo\, Brandston\, Gloria Record\, Copeland\, Cartel and Andy Yorke to name a few. \nBuddhistson is truly an inspiration to all lovers of DIY! Shima started the bands own label\, “MUSIC for GORILLAS”\, and creates all the bands designs (tees\, album artwork\, posters\, merchandise\, etc.) including most of their music videos! Shima also creates all the motion graphics that are projected continuously as a backdrop during their live show which adds yet another addition to the already captivating atmosphere of Buddhistson. His most recent DIY project was for Buddhistsons latest music video “EYES IN THE DARK.” This is their first music video to promote their latest album “SLOWDANCE-wisely and slow they stumble that dance fast” released Jan 2\, 2009. The album was recorded in Kashiwa\, Japan and mixed in Utrecht\, Holland by the amazing dutch producer Martijn Groeneveld. \nSinger-songwriter Ben Tse and his band the Lovesong have great presence\, energy\, intensity and some top tunes. Their set at U28 would have been very difficult to criticise had they not taken seemingly forever to set up and get ready to play. Even by the time Underground MC Yan introduced them\, the boys still were not quite ready\, leaving us in the impatient crowd to wait several more agonising minutes. But it was well worth the wait. The songs are loud\, catchy and technically audacious at times\, but the band pulled it off like a well-oiled machine. Playing with such intensity\, it was no surprise each member was soon drenched in sweat. Fantastic indy-rock. Be sure to buy yourself their new CD at their next show. \nWhen: 5:00pm–9:30pm\, Saturday\, June 1\, 2019 \nWhere: Live Music Association\, 11B San Mei Industrial Building\, 50 Avenida do Coronel Mesquita\, Macau \nHow much: MOP $220–$250 \nFor more information\, check their Facebook page and buy tickets at Livraria Portuguesa or Pin-to Books

SUMMARY:Art Macao: Outdoor Art Installations
DESCRIPTION:Featured image: The Wanderer\, by Wong Ka Long \nArt Macao is spreading art all over the city and it’s no different outdoors. There is an array of art pieces spread around in parks and garden across Macau\, including Cotai and Taipa. “Happy Heads” is at Jorge Álvares Square until August 15\, 2019. Created by Benoit+Bo–a duo of Franco-Chinese visual artists–it’s a sight to see in the middle of the grass. Their artistic practice is above all an invitation to travel. They work on territories and landscapes from their own memories and places they have visited. Through photography\, sculpture or video\, these artists can evoke the various issues of today’s world. “Happy Heads”\, which they call “smiling heads”\, are colorful masks inspired by popular Chinese festivals. The mask is their emblem but also the link between all their works made since the creation of their duet in 2003. \nHappy Heads by Benoit+Bo (Belgium) \n“The Wanderer” (see featured image on top) is artwork created by Wong Ka Long\, featuring multiple sculptures of Fernando Pessoa. Fernando Pessoa is a famous Portuguese poet and author\, whose work was acclaimed with its unique poetic quality and philosophy. He was also famed for “inventing” personalities\, fabricating 75 heteronyms to replace himself. In this international exhibition\, local artist Wong Ka Long is presenting sculptures of Pessoa\, representing the world through the perspective of Pessoa\, to make him more known to the audience.

SUMMARY:Art Macao: ART．Appreciation．Legacy by SJM
DESCRIPTION:(Featured image: Still life of blue-and-white porcelain with lotus\, by Huang Guiwen) \nSociedade de Jogos de Macau (SJM) hosts yet another exhibition for Art Macao\, the city’s biggest and most exciting art event ever. At Grand Lisboa Hotel\, people can see art pieces from different international artists\, including Lusophone\, Asian\, and others. ART．Appreciation．Legacy is a celebration of cultural heritage by SJM seen through the prism of art. In collaboration with fellow artists to create a total of seven exceptional and multidimensional exhibitions in various hotels every month from June to October 2019. \nSecret Land exhibits Paul Gauguin’s piece\, Coin Du Jardin. The artist is one of the most important artists of Post impressionism. Coin du Jardin was made at a pivotal moment in Paul Gauguin’s art career. It marks the end of a long period of working towards becoming a professional artist rather than an amateur and a businessman\, and the beginning of a quest to explore new places and subjects. Painted in Normandy\, probably just outside Varengeville\, in the summer of 1885\, it represents a rare moment of balance and peace in the complex and varied trajectory of his life. For more details on the painting\, check here. \nCalla Lilies\, by Wang Ximei \nIn a homage to Chinese artist Wu Guanzhong\, SJM presents “The Early Encounter of the East and the West – 20th Century Chinese Artists Abroad in France: “Unbroken Kite String – relationship between concrete and abstract – A tribute to Wu Guanzhong on His 100th Birth Anniversary”. It features works by Wu Guanzhong in a free entrance exhibition in Grand Lisboa. Wu Guanzhong shocked the whole painting world with his concise remarks that pen and ink means nothing\, but the spiritual orientation of traditional literati is deeply reflected in his paintings. He compares his accomplishment in oil paintings and traditional Chinese paintings as “the amphibious hardships”\, and carries out an interactive art exploration on two aspects of “nationalization of oil painting” and “modernization of traditional Chinese painting”. \nThe same property also hosts Visions of Chinese Tradition\, an exhibition that\, as the name indicates\, is full of beautiful and exclusive art pieces from Chinese artists depicting China. Chinese lacquer painting is derived from the longstanding lacquer art\, which is an important art form in Chinese art history. Jiangxi has been a major lacquer art town in China since ancient times and a large number of exquisite lacquer wares were unearthed here. Its lacquer paintings are one of the representatives of modern lacquer art\, and are distinguished in employing traditional techniques to present innovative and expressive ideas\, winning acclaim for their varied styles and vivid colours. It’s with lacquer and a contemporary mind that these artists came up with amazing sceneries and horizons. Have a preview of the exhibition here. \nWarm sunlight\, by Xiong Jianxin \nVideo art from Portugal is also at SJM properties: three short movies are exhibited across Grand Lisboa Hotel\, Hotel Lisboa\, Sofitel Macau At Ponte 16 and Casino Oceanus at Jai Alai. Schizo is the work of João Pombeiro\, while Rodrigo Oliveira put together Rescaldo\, and Rui Calçada Bastos brings The Mirror Suitcase Man. \nThe Fourth “Y Show” features the works of local students. It aims to aims to provide an opportunity for graduates to showcase their talents. This is also a platform for young artists to interact and stimulate their innovative ideas\, at the same time\, assist in the building up of international arts and cultural exchange channel to enhance Macau in becoming the art capital for young artists. “Y Show” invites well-known local and international design specialists as the assessment committee to select 10 Outstanding Awards as recognition to the graduates for their efforts. \nFinally\, Portuguese-speaking Authors – Works from the collection of the PLMJ Foundation: it combines several works from Portuguese and Lusophone artists focusing on contemporary art that includes means such as photography and collage. PLMJ Foundation holds a collection of contemporary Portuguese art and\, since 2010\, also from the other member countries of the CPLP\, and has been asserting itself as a Portuguese-speaking cultural institution that understands the breadth of its activity in the context of Portuguese-speaking world. \nCall Me\, by Yonamine \nThis project consists of an exhibition of works by artists representing the Portuguese-speaking universe that shape a plural geography\, owned by a generation that developed their work in a context of a diaspora that extends to many cities and places around the world. It aims to show the public in general and in particular that of Macau the work that has been developed in the Visual Arts among Portuguese-speaking countries\, through a close look at the new aesthetic proposals and the experiences that\, among the Portuguese-speaking world\, brings new interpretations and a global perspective on our time and its artistic creation.

SUMMARY:Reality and The 'Real' - Works by Ng Man Wai
DESCRIPTION:In his instantiation theory\, Plato first talked about the definition of art and understood art as an imitation of nature. The exhibition Reality and The ‘Real’ is further developed by this theme as well. “If the artwork replicates objects like a mirror\, can it be art?” Man Wai raised such a question for herself. Therefore\, artist Man Wai hopes to faithfully copy and reproduce objects in a regular\, strict\, and objective way of expression. \nAt the same time\, in the choice of the imitated objects\, the artist is committed to choosing the most ordinary and most accessible things in life\, such as eggs\, peanuts\, walnuts\, stones and so on. Selecting these objects for “copying”\, her purpose is not to have the symbolic meaning of the object itself\, causing the association of the audience. But rather\, the definition of art depends on the audience\, and artistic creation and appreciation become a symbiotic process. The exhibition was curated by Lai Sio Kit. \nWhen: June 3–July 1\, 2019 \nWhere: Macau Art Garden\, 265 Avenida do Dr. Rodrigo Rodrigues\, Macau \nHow much: Free admission \nFor more details\, check the event’s Facebook page

SUMMARY:Sunless Asteroid AO22: Sun Xiaoyu Solo Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Sunless Asteroid\, codenamed AO22\, is a planet that was once named Macau (AoMen) in 1998. After the solar system collapsed\, the asteroid lost its star and has since been traveling around the universe. On AO22\, there is no day and night\, the semi-fluid black sand contains soil and water; there is no sleep and yet the low clouds composed of mercury are filled with high-level oxygen; on the bright yellow skyline we can see layers of paradisiacal mirages made by human colonists on this dead asteroid. After much blending of colonial and immigration histories\, an “insulation law” has been imposed – only men without an identity are considered in existence. And because of this\, this faint light spot turns into a totem symbolizing supreme happiness and uprising emancipation\, or an eternal taboo on the meaning of life. For aeons\, mysterious legends about AO22 have spread inside and outside the quadrant\, and countless creatures have rushed to it but never came back. \nThis time Ox Warehouse presents “Sunless Asteroid AO22”\, a solo exhibition by Sun Xiaoyu\, an artist with a MA from the School of Intermedia Art\, China Academy of Art (CAA). The exhibition features her latest work\, No Destinations produced during her residence at Ox Warehouse in Macau\, based on which a visual world of images called Sunless Asteroid is created. This space is intended to serve as a gateway to another world. All visitors to the space will read an autobiographical novel by an AO22 smuggler and participate in a pre-departure identity degaussing ceremony. The exhibition attempts to reflect on the future of human spiritual conditions by raising a metaphor of a cosmological view imaged on earth. \nWhen: June 5–August 4\, 2019 \nWhere: Post-Ox Warehouse Experimental Site\, 15 R. do Volong\, Macau \nHow much: Free admission \nFor more information\, call +853 2853 0026\, send an email to oxwarehouse@gmail.com or check the event’s Facebook page
