A Standout Celebration Series: Galaxy Music Gala: ‘A Musical Journey from Monaco to Macau’ Triumphs

Honouring 30 Years of Bilateral China – Monaco Diplomatic Ties and Cultural Exchange with GEG Concert Extravaganza
MACAU SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 28 May 2025 – On May 21, the Galaxy International Convention Center came alive with the enchanting sounds of string music, as melodies from the shores of the Mediterranean traversed thousands of miles to grace the coastline of Macau. Galaxy Macau™, the award-winning luxury integrated resort, presented a spectacular musical extravaganza—“Galaxy Music Gala: A Musical Journey from Monaco to Macau” – to commemorate the 30th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and Monaco. Over one hundred political, business, and classic music lovers gathered for an unforgettable evening where music spoke louder than words.
Mr. Troy Hickox, Head of Hotels & Lifestyle Development of Galaxy Entertainment Group (“GEG”), Director of Monte Carlo Societé des Bains de Mer (“SBM”) paid homage to the significant ties between GEG and SBM in the welcoming speech, “GEG is delighted to host this concert in celebration of the ten-year anniversary milestone of its strategic partnership with SBM; an enduring partnership which underpins our commitment to extending Monaco’s ties through partnership initiatives worldwide. In tandem with this concert, GEG is committed to hosting a series of annual exchanges with Monaco; including premier international cultural and artistic events – uniting renowned individuals, artists and performers and enriching Macau’s artistic offerings. Through tonight’s gala, we hope to reinforce the cultural connection between Macau and Monaco, fully leveraging Macau’s distinctive advantage as ‘One Base’ – an ‘exchange and cooperation base with the Chinese culture at its core – celebrating significant cultural collaboration’. As the 30th anniversary of official China-Monaco relations, 2025 is a year to celebrate all things that link China with Monaco, be it through culture, commerce, the culinary arts, or sport. GEG is committed to creating an ongoing legacy of luxury entertainment in Macau, hand in hand with SBM.”
Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Principality of Monaco to the People’s Republic of China, H.E. Ms. Marie-Pascale BOISSON travelled to Macau especially to attend the concert as a guest of honour; delivering a heartfelt speech.
“As Ambassador of Monaco to China, I am so honored to be here this evening to share a very special musical event with you, initiated by GEG in this resounding celebration of the thirtieth anniversary of diplomatic relations between the People’s Republic of China and the Principality of Monaco.”


The concert was spearheaded by world-renowned violinist Zhang Zhang, who took the stage alongside the esteemed Monaco Zhangomusiq Concertmasters Orchestra, the virtuoso guitarist Pablo Márquez, and Andrea Cesari, the principal French horn of the Monte Carlo Philharmonic. As the first song Horn Concerto began, the stage transformed into a vibrant crossroads of Eastern and Western cultures. The Baroque elegance of Monaco’s Palace Square and the intricate fusion of East and West in Macao’s Ruins of St. Paul’s merged in a mesmerizing interplay of light and sound.
The concert’s program was a masterpiece from Europe and beyond: the China premier of Gordon Jacob’s “Horn Concerto” showcased Andrea Cesari’s virtuosity, blending the boldness of brass with the delicate whispers of strings beneath the Galaxy Auditorium’s soaring ceiling. Tchaikovsky’s cherished “Serenade for Strings,” reimagined with innovative arrangements, saw the viola and double bass sections weave a tapestry of sound reminiscent of moonlight glistening on Venice’s canals. The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the Asian premiere of Manuel de Falla’s iconic “Three Dances,” adapted for guitar solo and conduct by Pablo Márquez. The guitar and string ensemble collaboration offered a fresh and captivating musical experience, prompting the audience to erupt in sustained applause for the adaptation’s brilliance. In the concert’s encore, young musicians from Pui Ching Middle School Macau and Lou Hau Middle School Macau joined artists from Monaco and France to present the cherished “Song of the Seven Sons” as a musical ode to Macau’s love and longing for reunification with China. As the final note of the encore faded into silence, the entire audience rose to their feet, accompanied by rapturous applause. On this night of shared camaraderie, music transcended language barriers, with each note embodying the essence of cross-cultural dialogue that poignantly bridged time and space.
Founded in 2001, the Monaco Zhangomusiq Concertmasters Orchestra is a cultural diplomacy initiative dedicated to the Principality of Monaco, having performed alongside the Principality’s ambassadors in various countries over the years. Concertmaster Zhang Zhang, a global music icon, has performed for leaders of both China and Monaco at high-level state visits at the invitation of H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco. She was the first Chinese musician to have joined the Monte Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra and has been graced with the honor of being granted special permission from the Prince’s Government to perform with members of the Monaco Philharmonic Orchestra. In 2007, she established the NGO “Zhangomusiq,” which leverages concerts to support humanitarian, ecological, and educational projects worldwide.

On the 30th anniversary of China-Monaco diplomatic relations, the Monaco Zhangomusiq Concertmasters Orchestra, supported by the Ministry of Tourism and Culture of Monaco, embarked on a tour of China, with Macao as its first stop. Dedicated to deepening arts and cultural exchanges within the community and promoting the development of young talent in related fields, GEG hosted an extended activity “Galaxy Entertainment Group Presents: A Musical Journey from Monaco to Macau’s Campus” on May 19, inviting Zhang Zhang and Pablo Márquez to Pui Ching Middle School Macau. During the visit, Zhang Zhang not only shared insights into her experience as a performer and her musical career, but also showcased her artistry to over 200 teachers and students, inspiring them to embrace challenges and pursue their dreams. Arranged by GEG, the two world-class musicians also led a masterclass with students, providing professional guidance to enrich their musical techniques and broaden their horizons through cultural exchange. Additionally, GEG extended special invites to students and members from Lou Hau High School, Pui Ching Middle School Macau, Macao Youth Symphonic Orchestra Association, University of Macau, Federation of Associations of Cultural Sectors of Macau, and Young Men’s Christian Association of Macau, to attend the concert on the May 21, providing them with an opportunity to experience the captivating fusion of Chinese and Western cultures through music.

As a cornerstone project supporting Macau’s ambitions as a “City of Performing Arts,” the “Galaxy Music Gala” series presented by Galaxy Macau has already carved out a niche with landmark cultural events: following performances by legendary tenor Plácido Domingo, renowned pianist Lang Lang, and the beloved tenor Andrea Bocelli; culminating in the Monaco Zhangomusiq Concertmasters Orchestra’s unforgettable performance. Galaxy Macau is committed to fostering culture as Asia’s premier artistic destination, through world-class international performances, contributing to Macau’s development as an “exchange and cooperation base with Chinese culture as its mainstream and co-existence of different cultures.”

Avoiding obvious mistakes: Octa broker breaks down security tools in trading

Common challenges
Trading can be a very intense experience. Each trade puts knowledge and skills to the test, creating a decisive stress factor. It’s like taking an exam with a limited time over and over, but the test questions and conditions are different each time.
Octa leverages its extensive market experience to offer transparent trading conditions and fast, reliable withdrawals. The broker’s trustworthiness and transparency reduce the cognitive load involved in trading and allow traders to fully concentrate on their performance.
The tools at hand
Any trader strives to get additional income with each session, and the high significance of financial outcomes can get on their nerves. Luckily, modern trading platforms have a few simple yet efficient tools that help to automate the routine and improve outcomes.
To simplify the trading process, Octa broker creates a reliable, secure trading environment and introduces accessible and efficient features to its platform. Below are some of the tools any trader should consider to achieve more consistent results.
- Stop loss and take profit
Stop-loss and take-profit orders are by far the most popular and accessible risk management tools in trading. These tools automatically close a position once it hits a predefined mark, either cutting losses or locking in gains—just as their names suggest.
Most trading tutorials emphasise the importance of regularly using these orders as part of the risk management routine. However, Octa broker’s survey showed that between 29% and 35% of traders apply risk management tools only when attempting a hazardous trade. In most cases, they trust their trading intuition to exit the trade on time. Unfortunately, this approach is risky and can cause significant losses. Remember, risk management tools are there to be used.
- Trailing stop and break even
These tools allow traders to set up dynamic, market-sensitive exit points to secure the gains already made in a trade. While a standard stop-loss order is static and usually applied at the initial stage of a trade, trailing stop automatically adjusts the exit level as the market price moves in the trader’s favour, protecting profits while giving the trade room to run.
Similarly, a break-even order moves the stop-loss level to the trade’s entry price (or slightly above or below to cover commissions or fees) once the price has moved a predetermined amount in the trader’s favour, thereby eliminating the risk of financial loss on that particular trade.
These tools automatically close the position at a certain price level to protect profits, allowing traders to set up a dynamic, market-sensitive stop-loss order. While a standard stop-loss order is static, both trailing stop and break-even orders follow the price as long as it moves in favour of the open position.
Octa broker highly recommends these intuitive and flexible tools available on the broker’s proprietary platform. They offer greater control over open positions, reduce stress, and enhance resilience in unpredictable market conditions.
- Notifications and calculators
However basic, math in trading is always present as a hidden but instrumental mechanism, and a solid understanding of it remains crucial. Modern trading platforms offer dedicated features to automate calculations and reduce cognitive load.
For example, position sizing algorithms and automated margin calculators help traders maintain the needed level of exposure. They take into account the user’s current equity amount and desired risk tolerance. An automated tool can calculate how many lots to trade within a specific currency pair so that no more than 1% of the account balance is at risk on any single trade. Maintaining this disciplined and detail-focused approach manually would be very cumbersome, but luckily, the appropriate tools can streamline the process.
On the other hand, automated alert systems provide a psychological safety net for emotional traders who are prone to anxiety. These systems monitor charts around the clock and notify traders when specific setups or market conditions emerge. Instead of staring at screens for hours, traders who use such tools can focus on strategy refinement or other analyses, knowing they won’t miss critical entry or exit opportunities.
Modern risk-management tools allow for easier and less nerve-wracking sessions while improving overall outcomes. Brokers that wield technology and offer their clients the most accessible, up-to-date solutions create a link of trust and understanding that helps both brokers and traders reach their respective goals. With this in mind, Octa broker recommends choosing a trusted and proven broker, rather than one that simply makes the most promises.

Cyberport “AI x Data Forum” Concludes Successfully Joining Hands with Industry to Drive AI and Data Innovation and Unlock New Value for Enterprises

During the forum, Cyberport, the Canton Data Exchange and China Unicom Global signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). The three parties will jointly promote and implement a “Mainland incubation, Hong Kong deployment” collaboration model, introducing mature data application scenarios and enterprises from Mainland China into Hong Kong. The collaboration covers areas such as financial risk management, healthcare, cross-border trade, and the low-altitude economy, and will provide technology platforms and compliance support. These efforts will help enterprises expand into both local and overseas markets, while jointly organizing incubation, investment promotion, and exchange activities, further strengthening Hong Kong’s position as a demonstration hub for data applications.
Prof Sun Dong, Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry delivered the opening remarks at the forum and stated “Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a major engine for global economic growth, with data as its essential driving force. The two elements are complementary. This year, the HKSAR Government has developed AI as a core industry for Hong Kong, aiming for all sectors to focus on its development and spearhead a new wave of economic growth for the city. The Government will fully leverage Hong Kong’s edges as an international data hub, encouraging the industry to pursue innovation and breakthroughs in AI. With unique advantages under the ‘One Country, Two Systems’ principle, Hong Kong is well positioned to serve as a vital base for AI development, both locally and across the Greater Bay Area, enabling AI and data to create broader and more positive value in the region.”
In his welcoming speech, Simon Chan, Chairman of Cyberport, stated “Data is the cornerstone of the digital economy, driving the transformation of smart cities and serving as a vital foundation for AI development. Cyberport is dedicated to building a diverse innovation and technology ecosystem, fostering the safe, efficient, and compliant growth of AI and data applications through cross-sector collaboration. Our partnership with the Canton Data Exchange and China Unicom Global represents a significant milestone in promoting collaborative development in the Guangdong-Hong Kong data industry. Cyberport will continue to serve as Hong Kong’s digital tech hub and AI accelerator, harnessing innovative technologies to drive economic transformation and reinforce Hong Kong’s status as a global hub for innovation and data.”
The Leaders Dialogue sessions moderated by Dr. Crystal Fok, Director of AI Applications at Cyberport, brought together representatives from various organizations, including the Hong Kong Police Force, the Spatial Data Office, Canton Data Exchange, and China Unicom Global. The panel engaged in an in-depth discussion on advancing data security and improving the transparency of cloud data flows, providing fresh perspectives to organizational data management strategies. During the discussion, experts shared valuable insights in promoting data security and data application and ensuring compliance. Initiatives included developing platforms with multilingual and context-aware capabilities to enhance service quality and continually reviewing and enhancing system security to ensure a safe and compliant flow of information. The panel also underscored that the establishment of compliant and scalable data platforms will facilitate cross-sector collaboration and industry co-creation, helping smart enterprises seize new opportunities and achieve high-quality growth.
As Hong Kong’s digital tech hub and AI accelerator, Cyberport is committed to building a responsible and trustworthy AI ecosystem in collaboration with various sectors. Last year, Cyberport launched Hong Kong’s largest Artificial Intelligence Supercomputing Centre (AISC) and established an AI Lab to provide comprehensive support to start-ups from research and development to market entry, creating a valuable platform for technology demonstration and commercial application.
Additionally, the HKSAR Government allocated HK$3 billion to launch the three year Artificial Intelligence Subsidy Scheme (AISS) through Cyberport, which has received approximately 20 applications. As of the end of June this year, the committee has approved nearly 10 projects covering areas such as local large language models, new materials, synthetic biology, and medical large models, with total grants of about HK$300 million. Since January, approved projects have gradually begun utilising the AISC, with more than 90% of its computing capacity now in use.
With the completion of Cyberport 5 expected for this year, the new building will be equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure, including a dedicated, Tier-III+ standard sustainable data centre. Together with the adjacent AISC and the Hong Kong Internet Exchange (HKIX), the new facility will create a high-performance technology corridor. This will provide stronger and highly reliable data storage and computing support for industry, academia, and government, accelerating digital transformation across industries.
Currently, Cyberport is home to more than 400 start-ups focusing on AI and data science, and has attracted several leading AI enterprises. Cyberport has fostered strategic partnerships with major technology leaders, expanding support for start-ups while advancing talent cultivation, R&D, and technology adoption, driving Hong Kong’s evolution into an International AI and innovation hub.
