A highlight will be Macao-born composer Lam Bun-ching’s “Sails Returning to the Mirror Sea” (2019), a commissioned piece commemorating Macao’s return. Inspired by Lok Hei’s artwork “Macao: Back to Common Roots,” Lam created this symphonic poem. Lok’s 100-meter piece illustrates Macao’s evolution over the centuries. The MYSO has presented Lam’s work in many Chinese cities, earning acclaim from both audiences and critics.
