Galaxy Entertainment Group (GEG) has been actively supporting cultural and artistic exchanges between China and Portuguese-speaking countries, and advancing the establishment of Macau as “a base for exchange and cooperation where Chinese culture is the mainstream and diverse cultures coexist”. Spanning over 30 activities from April 4 to May 6, the “Galaxy Entertainment Group Presents: Literary and Cultural Festival for Parents and Children ‘Alphabet & Friends’ 2025” (the Festival) was jointly organised by the Portuguese Institute of the Orient (IPOR) and the Consulate-General of Portugal in Macau and Hong Kong and title-sponsored by GEG. As part of the Festival, GEG hosted an exclusive parent-child story creation session at the Galaxy Kidz Edutainment Centre, inviting over 30 local children and parents from the Associação Promotora da Instrução dos Macaenses to participate. Together, they created and read Portuguese-language stories, deepening their understanding and interest in Portuguese culture through relaxed and interesting interactions. Since its inception in 2021, GEG has supported the Festival for five consecutive years, facilitating cultural exchanges within Macau’s Chinese-Portuguese community. Including this year’s activities, the Festival has drawn participation from 40 local schools and institutions, totaling over 10,000 participants.

During the parent-child story creation session at the Galaxy Kidz Edutainment Centre, Ms. Catarina Mesquita, founder of Macau’s first trilingual children’s book publishing company, Mandarina Books, inspired the creativity of children in an educational and entertaining way, guiding them to use different Portuguese phrases and vocabularies to create unique stories based on everyday life. Portuguese cartoonist, Mr. Rodrigo de Matos, also attended the event and vividly illustrated the children’s ingenious ideas on canvas. The children and their parents added colorful stickers to their works afterwards in a warm and lively atmosphere. Additionally, Ms. Mesquita brought her books, published in Chinese, English and Portuguese, for the participating families to read together, allowing them to experience the joy of cross-cultural communication.

Mr. Mário Herculano Fernandes Estorninho, a representative from the Associação Promotora da Instrução dos Macaenses, said: “We sincerely thank GEG and all the organizers for providing this rich cultural experience. The event not only sparked children’s creativity and imagination through engaging activities, but also fostered their interest in storytelling, improved their expression and comprehension skills in the Portuguese language, and deepened their understanding of Portuguese culture.”

For the first time, the series of activities in this year’s Festival were the “reading points” of the “Reading Month in the City of Macao 2025” organised by the Cultural Affairs Bureau of the Macau SAR Government (ICM). The Festival was linked to a number of related initiatives, such as International Children’s Book Day, World Book Day and World Portuguese Language Day, with various activities ranging from concerts, theater performances, parent-child workshops, children’s book fairs and book launches around the theme of “Artificial Intelligence in Education – The Robot and I” held to the enthusiastic response of different sectors. Furthermore, at the “Mini Library”, one of the key events of the Festival, IPOR, the Consulate-General of Portugal in Macau and Hong Kong and GEG jointly donated a collection of nearly 400 books by Portuguese-language authors, including some bilingual editions released during the Festival, to nearly 40 non-tertiary local schools that include Portuguese in their curriculum in hopes of enhancing local youth’s interest in reading and deepening their understanding of the Portuguese culture through high-quality bilingual learning materials.

Over the years, GEG has upheld its philosophy of “What is taken from the community is to be used for the good of the community” by supporting Chinese-Portuguese cultural and artistic events in Macau through diverse ways, hoping to enrich the city’s multicultural landscape. In this March, GEG sponsored the Macau Literary Festival for the 11th time, providing a platform for literary exchange between cultural and artistic advocates from China and Portuguese-speaking countries. Last year, GEG supported the “GEG Lusofonia Festival” for the second consecutive year, serving as one of its organisers for the first time alongside ICM. Since 2021, GEG has partnered with ICM to launch a variety of initiatives under the “Encounter in Macao – Arts and Cultural Festival between China and the Portuguese-speaking Countries”, including supporting the “GEG Traditional Music and Dance Performance in the Community” held at Galaxy Macau integrated resort for two consecutive years. Additionally, GEG has supported the “China and Portuguese-speaking Countries Film Festival” for four consecutive years, co-hosting it twice and providing outdoor screenings at GEG’s revitalisation project – the Lai Chi Vun Shipyards during this past edition.

SBC Summit’s INFINITY Lisbon Levels Up with Timmy Trumpet on the Decks

Published

Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

Blending classical training, jazz roots, and EDM firepower, Timmy Trumpet will take the stage at the INFINITY Lisbon closing party with a high-energy set that promises to close SBC Summit with a bang.

Taking place on Thursday, September 18th at the MEO Arena—which serves as the Super Stage during the day—the venue will transform into the ultimate party setting for the Australian DJ and producer, widely regarded as one of the most explosive live performers in EDM.

Known for his trumpet solos and crowd-hyping energy, his headline set will be open to VIP attendees and complimentary operator and affiliate pass holders.

“The Greatest Show in Gaming couldn’t happen without the greatest showman in EDM! Jokes aside, no one brings the fire quite like Timmy Trumpet,” said Rasmus Sojmark, CEO & Founder of SBC. “He’s that rare artist who can blend high-energy drops with live instrumentation and still keep the crowd bouncing from start to finish.”

Timmy Trumpet’s musical journey began at just four years old when he picked up the trumpet. By thirteen, he was named Young Musician of the Year and earned a full scholarship to the Conservatorium of Music, studying under the Sydney Symphony Orchestra’s Anthony Heinrich. Within two years, he became the lead soloist for the Australian All-Star Stage Band, touring Europe and performing at some of the world’s top jazz festivals.

His evolution into the electronic music scene came naturally, blending live trumpet with high-energy EDM—culminating in his breakout hit Freaks in 2014, which has since surpassed a billion streams across all platforms and contributed to a discography that has amassed over 5 billion streams worldwide.

Trumpet’s Tomorrowland debut in 2017 remains the most-streamed set in the festival’s history. In 2024, he reached a new career high, ranking 5th on DJ Mag’s Top 100. That same year, he closed the main stage at Tomorrowland in both Belgium and Brazil—his Belgium set becoming the most-viewed performance of the year and further cementing his legacy as one of the festival’s most iconic acts.

The DJ’s genre-blending style and electrifying energy have also led to collaborations with some of the biggest names in electronic music. His discography includes powerhouse tracks with global stars like Steve Aoki, Armin van Buuren, Afrojack, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Hardwell, KSHMR, R3HAB, W&W, and ALOK, among others.

“We already announced Alok last month as part of the INFINITY Lisbon lineup, and now confirming Timmy Trumpet means we’ll have two powerhouse DJs headlining the closing party—an experience I’m sure our attendees will truly appreciate,” said Sojmark.

This won’t be the first time SBC event attendees are treated to electrifying DJ performances. The tradition began last September during the debut edition of SBC’s flagship show in Lisbon, with headline acts including Darude, Miss Monique, and Don Diablo. It continued earlier this year at SBC Summit Rio, where Afrojack and Brazilian duo Dubdogz brought the energy behind the decks. Next, the tradition heads to SBC Summit Americas, where Steve Aoki will headline the INFINITY Florida closing party in Fort Lauderdale.

“It’s becoming a tradition—and one that both we at SBC and our delegates absolutely love,” Sojmark added. “Industry events are fantastic in so many ways. But they’re also demanding. Closing them with world-class acts creates an experience that’s both celebratory and memorable, which is exactly what SBC Summit is all about.

SBC Summit will return to the Feira Internacional de Lisboa and MEO Arena on 16–18 September. Set to welcome 30,000 industry professionals from around the world, the event will offer three days of in-depth educational content, a comprehensive exhibition floor, and networking opportunities.
