Open call for submission of information for the Macao Music Yearbook

The Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC) is now calling for submission of information in order to publish the Macao Music Yearbook 2014 and the Macao Music Yearbook 2015. Local art associations or artists are welcome to provide relevant information starting from today until 26 January 2017, in order to facilitate the compilation of the yearbooks. With the growth of Macao’s classical music scene and artistic exchanges with other countries and regions, it is necessary to keep a detailed record of Macao’s artistic development. In recent years, the Cultural Affairs Bureau planned to compile the publication of three performing arts yearbooks in the field of Macao’s theatre, dance and music. Last year, with the support of art associations and performing arts practitioners, the related performing arts events and activities were documented systematically. In view of this, IC keeps on collecting information for the Macao Music Yearbook 2014 and the Macao Music Yearbook 2015. These yearbooks will document the performing art activities held in the past two years, featuring information on classical music, jazz, and musical theatre, among other areas, as well as information of local and overseas concerts, competitions, master classes, workshops, courses, seminars, exchanges and exhibitions, research and related publications (such as books, periodicals, scripts, dissertation and critiques), photos, videos and so forth, based on its objectivity and authenticity. As the yearbooks involve a vast scope of materials, associations and individuals, IC is now gathering relevant information for the Macao Music Yearbook 2014 and 2015 in order to prevent the omission of any data and ensure the integrity of the data. All interested parties in providing the aforementioned information may download application forms at the webpage https://sites.google.com/site/macaomusicyearbook20142015/ or obtain them at the Cultural Affairs Bureau Building in person. Applicants may submit the completed application form by fax to 2847 3747 or by email to musicyearbook1415@gmail.com. Submission of documents can also be made by post or in person at the Cultural Affairs Bureau Building located at the Tap Siac Square. For enquiries, please contact Ms. Lee or Mr. Cheong through tel. no. 6629 6463, during office hours.
