Co-presented by the Cultural Affairs Bureau, Macao Orchestra Company Limited, and Galaxy Entertainment Group (GEG), the “BBC Seven Worlds, One Planet Live in Concert” was unveiled at Broadway Macau’s Broadway Theatre on 12 July.

The toasting ceremony was attended by distinguished guests, including Leong Wai Man, President of the Cultural Affairs Bureau of the Macao SAR Government and President of the Board of Directors of the Macao Orchestra Company Limited; Bai Bing, Deputy Director of the Department of Publicity and Culture of the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government in the Macao SAR; and Linda Wong, Assistant Senior Vice President of Public Relations of GEG.

The concert featured the Macao Orchestra collaborating with Australian conductor Vanessa Scammell to perform the moving compositions by Academy Award winner Hans Zimmer and Emmy Award winner Jacob Shea. Additionally, Hong Kong artist Jason Chan served as the English-language narrator, vividly recounting the stories behind the natural wonders of the seven continents.

In anticipation of the concert, GEG held the “GEG Rhythms of Nature Family Workshop” at the Lai Chi Vun Shipyards, incorporating music and environmental protection into interactive activities to raise public awareness of the importance of sustainable development.

Held in collaboration with the Macao Orchestra and green organization Green Future, the workshop allowed families to experience green living in depth through ecological tours, eco-friendly musical instrument making and musical performances. The event attracted more than 30 families, including around 70 children and parents.

Participants first took part in an ecological tour of the Lai Chi Vun Shipyards to learn about the area’s environmentally friendly design features and explore the nearby mangrove ecosystem, gaining an understanding of its ecological value and cultural history.

Parents and children then used uniforms and chopsticks recycled from GEG’s daily operations to make eco-friendly musical instruments such as sand shakers and small drums, experiencing the joy of recycling.
