UM Chinese Orchestra
Founded in 2010, University of Macau Chinese Orchestra (UMCO) is now the largest among all Chinese orchestras of universities and colleges in Macao. Aiming at promoting the Chinese music in Macao, UMCO has been delivering high-level Chinese music performances to students in University of Macau and to the Macao community. Supported by Macau Cultural Affairs Bureau, UMCO has the honor to invite professional instructors from Macau Chinese Orchestra to make an unceasing progress among members. Also, the great potential for Chinese music in UM makes it possible for UMCO to develop in a high speed. The orchestra is currently having near 40 members from different majors and grades, constituting a complete structure of a perfect Chinese orchestra. Having Mr. Zhuang Jiepai, who is from Macau Chinese Orchestra as the conductor, UMCO plays a significant role enriching campus life for UM students. Besides the two regular special concerts held on campus every year, UMCO also communicate closely with other universities, including Chinese orchestras from Ocean University of China, Peking University, Tsinghua University, National University of Singapore and Nanyang Technological University. During the exchange activities, UMCO held concerts with other orchestras and visit universities at home and abroad. The abundant activities and concerts help us to gain more experiences and enable us to deliver performances of higher level to students in University of Macau, and to the Macao community.
