- The 3rd Zhuhai International Mozart Competition for Young Musicians Comes to 
a Successful Close-
The closing concert for the 12-day 3rd Zhuhai International Mozart Competition 
for Young Musicians (Zhuhai Mozart Competition) was held on September 22 in the 
Opera Hall at the Zhuhai Huafa & CPAA Grand Theatre. It was the third time that 
Zhuhai, known throughout China as the country's City of Romance, collaborated 
with Salzburg, the city of Mozart and the Sound of Music. 

This year's Zhuhai Mozart Competition focused on exploring how a city 
differentiates itself through music, by examining music as a necessary 
component of the academic curriculum. Through education, a new approach 
enhancing the fusion of a city with music can be found. The Competition 
continues to strengthen its presence as a cultural brand of Zhuhai in 
international markets.

CPPCC National Standing Committee Member, China Federation of Literary and Art 
Circles vice president and Chinese Musicians Association president Ye Xiaogang 
and Zhuhai Municipal People's Government deputy mayor Yan Wu delivered speeches 
at the closing ceremony. Mr. Ye said, "The Zhuhai Mozart Competition has built 
a bridge of friendship between Zhuhai and the world through the wonder of 
music. Along the way, it has also enhanced Zhuhai's reputation as the gateway 
to and a hub within the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) and 
played a vital role in helping promote China's efforts and achievements in 
bolstering youth music education and the promotion of classical music in a 
modern world. The Competition, as the social foundation of China's Belt and 
Road Initiative and vision, plays a crucial role in improving open 
communication between the peoples of the world."

Mr. Yan added, "As the GBA continues to develop, social and cultural events, 
such as the Zhuhai Mozart Competition, will provide richer human and cultural 
resources, supporting the establishment of the GBA as a shining economic 
example of the coastal economic belt."
