    CULTURE AND SPORT Culture and Sport Eastern and western cultures have co-existed in Macao for over 400 years. A wide variety of cultural traditions, languages, values, religious beliefs, and customs have all existed side by side and influenced one another. Out of this melting pot, a regional culture unique to Macao has gradually developed into its present richness. Macao’s culture is thus a diverse mixture, with traditional Chinese culture as its heart, and it has assimilated Western, particularly Portuguese, cultural influences in perfect harmony. Following its policy of promoting Chinese culture while preserving the unique pluralistic cultural heritage of Macao, the Government has hosted various cultural and artistic activities invited art troupes from mainland China and overseas, as well as Macao, to perform. These have created opportunities for audiences to learn more about the history, society, and culture of different regions, as well as enhancing cultural exchange and the quality of cultural life of Macao’s residents.

  • The Saxophone in China: Historical Performance and Development
    THE SAXOPHONE IN CHINA: HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE AND DEVELOPMENT Jason Pockrus Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 201 8 APPROVED: Eric M. Nestler, Major Professor Catherine Ragland, Committee Member John C. Scott, Committee Member John Holt, Chair of the Division of Instrumental Studies Benjamin Brand, Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music John W. Richmond, Dean of the College of Music Victor Prybutok, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Pockrus, Jason. The Saxophone in China: Historical Performance and Development. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), August 2018, 222 pp., 12 figures, 1 appendix, bibliography, 419 titles. The purpose of this document is to chronicle and describe the historical developments of saxophone performance in mainland China. Arguing against other published research, this document presents proof of the uninterrupted, large-scale use of the saxophone from its first introduction into Shanghai’s nineteenth century amateur musical societies, continuously through to present day. In order to better describe the performance scene for saxophonists in China, each chapter presents historical and political context. Also described in this document is the changing importance of the saxophone in China’s musical development and musical culture since its introduction in the nineteenth century. The nature of the saxophone as a symbol of modernity, western ideologies, political duality, progress, and freedom and the effects of those realities in the lives of musicians and audiences in China are briefly discussed in each chapter. These topics are included to contribute to a better, more thorough understanding of the performance history of saxophonists, both native and foreign, in China.

  • Performance Report on the “Convention on the Protection And
    The Government of the Macao Special Administrative Region Report on Measures to Protect and Promote the Diversity of Cultural Expressions Summary Macao is a unique city with deep multi-cultural roots. It has for a long time served as a cultural crossroad and a bridge between different cultures. People of different races live harmoniously in this small city in accordance with their traditional cultural patterns of life, which has precipitated a unique cultural identity out of this cultural integration. The protection and promotion of the diversity of cultural expressions has always been one of the core cultural policies for the Macao SAR Government. To ensure its sustainable development, the Macao SAR Government, with strong support from the Central People’s Government of The People’s Republic of China, has implemented a series of related policies and measures in this field within the past four years. Through a strong combination of actions and resources, these policies and measures are used to encourage and promote individual and group participations so that there is sufficient space and freedom to express culture in many different forms, thereby ensuring its sustainable development. The cultural heritage and cultural diversity of mankind is not only expressed, promoted and transmitted through a variety of rich cultural expressions, but also relies on various methods and techniques of artistic creation, production, dissemination, distribution and consumption. To this end, the Macao SAR Government has adopted a multi-angle, multi- level (ranging from vertical development to horizontal consolidation and from focus changing to extensive support) approach to the cultural undertakings in investing considerable resources, with the aim of creating a world of sustainable development in different cultural areas, allowing for projects to flourish from generation to generation.
