Concert ushers in regional joy

More than 100 prominent Chinese and overseas musicians and celebrities gathered in Macao's largest indoor venue, Galaxy Arena, on Sunday evening for the Greater Bay Area Film Concert 2024.

Co-organized by China Central Television, the Macao Cultural Affairs Bureau, the Bauhinia Cultural Group and Phoenix TV, the event showcased the rich cultural heritage of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

It also celebrated multiple significant occasions: the autumnal equinox, or qiufen; the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China; and the 25th anniversary of the Macao Special Administrative Region.

The show comprised five distinct chapters, offering a mix of popular and classic songs - many of which are beloved theme songs from well-known films and television series - choral performances, piano recitals, and a recitation. The grand finale brought together students and children from across the region for a moving chorus.

The star-studded lineup included renowned artists such as Jackie Chan, Hacken Lee, Karen Mok Man-wai, Wang Leehom, and Richard Marx.
