Soothing sounds were streaming across Nam Van Lake yesterday, adding calmness to the otherwise busy city centre.

The soft music was from a handpan performance presented by Italian percussionist Loris Lombardo, who is in town for the International Youth Music Festival: “The Belt and Road – Music throughout Macau”, organised by the Education and Youth Affairs Bureau (DSEJ).

The event is part of the six-month long government-initiated “Art Macao” which celebrates all things art until October.


This handout photo taken on Wednesday from the Education and Youth Affairs Bureau shows the children learning about handpan.
