Organized by the Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC), the 34th Macao Young Musicians Competition, dedicated to the categories of Chinese and Western instruments, will be held between 27 July and 5 August at the Dom Pedro V Theatre and the Institute for Tourism Studies (main campus) concurrently, while the Competition for Special Prizes will be held on 7 August, at the Dom Pedro V Theatre. The provisional list of the Competition Schedule is available at the Macao Young Musicians Competition’s website (www.icm.gov.mo/cjmm). Applications for this edition of the Competition ended on 30 April, with over 600 applications received. The order of performance was decided through random electronic selection; all participants must perform according to the allocated order, unless exceptional circumstances are verified. In case of exceptional circumstances which require the order of the performance to be changed, participants must fill in the “Request for Change of Competition Order” and submit it between 6 and 8 June, from 10am to 7pm (including lunch hours), at the Cultural Affairs Building, located at Tap Siac Square; the change of competition order is subject to the approval of the organizer and notification of the participant. According to the Rules and Regulations of the Competition, a few categories were cancelled due to the fact of these categories having applicants less than the minimum number required. These applicants are requested to bring their Macao Identity Cards and go to the Cultural Affairs Building, located at Tap Siac Square on or before 17 June, from 10am to 1pm or 2:30pm to 5:30pm for the reimbursement of the application fees. The final list of the Competition schedule and the list of the members of the jury will be available on 17 June at the Macao Young Musicians Competition’s website.
