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.
On May 21, the world-renowned violinist Zhang Zhang led the esteemed Monaco Zhangomusiq Concertmasters Orchestra in the concert “Galaxy Music Gala: A Musical Journey from Monaco to Macau” at the Galaxy International Convention Center.
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.

Mr. Troy Hickox, Head of Hotels & Lifestyle Development of Galaxy Entertainment Group (“GEG”), Director of Monte Carlo Societé des Bains de Mer (SBM), following his introductory address, standing on stage next to H.E. Ms. Marie-Pascale BOISSON.
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.
The Auditorium at Galaxy International Convention Center offered an acoustic masterstroke for the audience to enjoy the Monaco Zhangomusiq Concertmasters Orchestra.
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.”

MADRID, May 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The International Defense and Security Exhibition of Spain, Feindef, had a record year in 2025, with more than 44,000 attendees, an increase of 78% in international presence, and the signing of numerous strategic agreements, becoming a “benchmark platform for cooperation” for the sector for three days.
The International Defense and Security Exhibition of Spain, Feindef, had a record year in 2025, with more than 44,000 attendees, an increase of 78% in international presence
With a strong international focus, the biennial fair, which has the institutional support of the Spanish Ministry of Defense, reinforced its global role.
Feindef Foundation President Ángel Olivares said the focus was “essential” to guarantee “our security and defense” and that, at the same time, “opens a very hopeful path for the future.”
The fair, held from May 12 to 14 at Ifema Madrid, had 601 exhibitors (75% SMEs), of which 187 were international, and more than 90 delegations from different countries.
There was “intense diplomatic and commercial activity with representatives from 56 nations,” according to organizers.
The European Defense Agency (EDA), Europol, the UN, NATO, the Organization for Joint Armament Cooperation (OCCAR), and the European Commission were among the organizations participating.
During the three days, key issues in the sector were covered, such as unmanned systems, cyber defense, advances in artificial intelligence applied to military logistics, dual application technologies, and other major structural challenges, such as the importance of attracting and retaining talent and making young people more security aware.
The fair served as an “ideal framework to facilitate agreements on international strategic alliances,” said Olivares. The president also saw it as a space to continue advancing towards “a single defense market in Europe.” This is in a context, in which EU leaders have agreed to boost security and defense spending, which, according to Brussels, could result in a rise of up to 800 billion euros.
The event also served as a platform for formalizing more than a dozen relevant agreements. Those include ones reached by Ukraine with both national and international companies, those made by TEDAE (Spanish Association of Technology Companies for Defense, Security, Aeronautics and Space) and AESMIDE (Association of Contractors with Public Administrations), letters of intent signed by the Spanish Ministry of Defense with the European Defense Agency (EDA), and a memorandum of understanding signed between Spanish industry and Turkish Aerospace for an integrated training program for the Spanish Air and Space Force.
