In order to promote public appreciation and participation in culture and arts, as well as to build more performance platforms for local artistic and cultural practitioners, the Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC, from the Portuguese acronym) will hold evening concerts at Lai Chi Vun Shipyards in the second half of each month, between July and November, gathering musicians from various regions and different languages to present a variety of musical performances in different music genres and promote exchanges. The concert “lively and poetic melodies” will be held at 4pm on 19 August. Admission is free. Residents and tourists are welcome to participate.
The theme of the evening concert in August is “lively and poetic melodies”. Local singer-songwriter and landscape designer, Willy Tjen, singer and illustrator, YCC, and musical duo Iron Son were invited to perform in the concerts.

YCC is active in the local performing arts scene and participates in various large-scale events. She has released a mini-album titled “YCC” and participated in the composition of several local original albums. Her original song “Spring Love” recorded in 360MV won the “Best Creative MV” award in the first edition of “OOH! Macau MV Awards”. The musical duo Iron Son is composed of vocalist Iron and music producer Jason, and they jointly manage an eponymous music channel on YouTube, which has garnered over 2 million views since its launch.
