It is the Foundation’s interest in promoting Chinese Music in Macau and, in particular, audience development focused on young people. This is what led the Foundation to once again join the Macao Chinese Orchestra, the professional orchestra under the auspices of the Cultural Affairs Bureau, as “Special Art Patron” for its 2021-2022 season. Three select concerts will be performed at the Broadway Theatre at Galaxy Macau in 2022, with two extension programmes for which the Foundation will be inviting local students to participate.
For this new season, the Foundation will take further steps to cultivate and promote Chinese music by engaging the Macao Youth Chinese Orchestra in hosting a specially-curated concert for young people, to take place in early 2022 at the Broadway Theatre, with local students again invited to be in the audience. This event will not only continue to expose young people to Chinese Music, but will also avail young performers of the youth orchestra further opportunities to perform in front of an audience in a formal setting fit for a professional orchestra.
Through these collaborations, the Foundation hopes to help with developing and nurturing our next generation of audience in Chinese music in Macau, with the ultimate aim to promote and popularise Chinese music especially for the younger audience.
