their re-interpretations at the panel discussion

Macao, April 15, 2024 — Wynn has been supporting the Macao SAR Government's efforts in promoting a diversified development strategy, continuously enriching and showcasing Macau's diverse tourism landscape through "tourism+", and advancing the city's position as a World Center of Tourism and Leisure. Locals and tourists have welcomed Illuminarium since its launch at the end of 2023. Starting today, Illuminarium proudly presents "MUSIC IN LIGHT", an unprecedented new audiovisual journey that is an exciting, multi-sensory musical experience for visitors. "MUSIC IN LIGHT" is the latest in a series of immersive personified experiences held at Illuminarium, which breaks through the barriers of classical music and transcends the boundaries of a traditional stage by using the world's most innovative and modern digital art techniques to vividly showcase the masterpieces of world-renowned composers such as Mozart, Vivaldi, Brahms, and Strauss. The experience further demonstrates Wynn's ongoing commitment to supporting the Macao SAR Government's '1+4' diversified development strategy.

This morning (April 15), a panel discussion for "MUSIC IN LIGHT" was held at Wynn Palace with the purpose of enhancing public comprehension of contemporary digital art projects and promoting a wide range of artistic creations. Distinguished guests participated in the panel included Mr. Cheng Wai Tong, Deputy Director of the Macao Government Tourism Office (MGTO); Ms. Kuok Mio U, Head of the Department of Performing Arts Development of the Cultural Affairs Bureau of the Macao SAR Government; Ms. Linda Chen, President, Vice Chairman and Executive Director of Wynn Macau, Limited; Mr. Lio Kuokman, Music Director and Principal Conductor of the Macao Orchestra; Mr. Dennis Liu, Creative Director of RadicalMedia; and Mr. Noah Gladstone, Musical Director of Hollywood Scoring. Mr. Jacky Fong, Executive Director of the Macao Orchestra Company, Limited, was also invited to attend the event.

Mr. Cheng Wai Tong, Deputy Director of the MGTO, said, "We are very much looking forward to the new show 'MUSIC IN LIGHT' at Wynn's Illuminarium. The new experience continues the impetus to Macao's diversified and high-quality tourism development, providing tourists with a variety of entertainment options. It propels Macao as a unique tourist destination, promoting the development of Macao's tourism economy."

Ms. Kuok Mio U, Head of the Department of Performing Arts Development of the Cultural Affairs Bureau, said, "As the hub where East meets West, Macao attracts art lovers to participate in our rich and diverse performing art events every year. 'MUSIC IN LIGHT' combines culture and art with innovative technology to provide audiences with enjoyment in a new artistic format. The creative interpretation of the symphony-themed performance allows Macao residents and tourists to appreciate classical music from a new perspective, providing an international experience for Macao's cultural tourism."

Ms. Linda Chen, President, Vice Chairman, and Executive Director of Wynn Macau, Limited, said, "As the only destination in Asia to house Illuminarium, Wynn is proud to have brought the world's most advanced immersive theatre experience to Macao, providing unprecedented new entertainment projects for Macao residents and visitors of all ages. The music is served as a media to foster exchanges between Chinese and Western culture and creating a diversified experience that contributes to Macao's tourism industry. 'MUSIC IN LIGHT' subverts the traditional stage performance with a symphony theme, providing an innovative experience for the audience. At the same time, the project's educational elements will inspire the public in music, technology, and diverse artistic works. We hope that the humanistic qualities bring new quality productive forces to the tourism industry in Macao, attract tourists from around the world with different interests, and allow them to experience the charm of Macao as the World Center of Tourism and Leisure."

Mr. Dennis Liu, Creative Director of RadicalMedia, is an Emmy-nominated screenwriter, director, editor, and visual effects artist. His portfolio includes directing music videos for musicians such as Mariah Carey, Sia, and Jolin Tsai. Following the hit action comedy "American Born Chinese," Liu collaborated with Mr. Noah Gladstone, Musical Director of Hollywood Scoring, to create this immersive multi-sensory journey. Liu said, "I am very grateful to Wynn for providing this extraordinary venue, Illuminarium. The endless possibilities of Illuminarium allow Noah, the team, and my artistic freedom to run wild in our creations. The immersive experiences can evoke strong emotions that go beyond a 2D screen, fostering deeper connections between users and the content, resulting in memorable and impactful sensory experiences. With 'MUSIC IN LIGHT', you are able to be up close, right up next to the instruments and musicians with personified projections of the music and tell their stories with symbolic visuals."

RadicalMedia began preparing for "MUSIC IN LIGHT" a year ago, bringing together the world's top talents, including cinematographer Igor Martinovec, who has shot "House of Cards" for Netflix; laser artist John Dickson, who has created programs for Billie Eilish, Doja Cat, The Weeknd, and Coachella; and London-based visual effects and editing partner Treatment Studios. The "MUSIC IN LIGHT" experience involves strings, woodwinds, brass, percussion, organ keyboards, etc., and borrowed a Stradivarius violin worth US$12 million to replicate the classical story and bring it to life. From the 18th century's Mozart to modern pieces from Holst and Saint-Saëns, professional music fans and the public can experience the recreation together with the impactful visual.

To celebrate the unveiling of "MUSIC IN LIGHT", Mr. Lio Kuokman, Music Director and Principal Conductor of the Macao Orchestra, specially recorded a congratulatory video for the event. Lio shared his views on promoting music to different audiences, including locals and tourists. The moving melody adds new impetus to the development of local culture and art.

The visual techniques featured in "MUSIC IN LIGHT" are a combination of cinematic in-camera effects, lasers, and 2D / 3D animation. Audiences are immersed in dynamic images through over 185 million pixels in full 8K, filmed under special lenses called Macro Diopters that create a visual world unique to each piece, which interacts with the four walls and the floor of Illuminarium. World-class Hollywood sound engineers have mixed the audio for this show so that it envelops the audience completely through HOLOPLOT, one of the most advanced sound systems in the world, to complete the 360-degree immersive experience. Haptic technology, which creates a sense of touch, further amplifies the sensory experience, accentuating the highs and lows of the musical compositions, giving visitors a unique opportunity to actually feel the music. This dreamlike audiovisual journey into the world's most celebrated classical masterpieces, breaks all boundaries. Throughout the three-dimensional multi-sensory experience at Illuminarium, audiences will be completely swept away while sipping on cocktails, listening to world-renowned masterpieces, and taking in the vivid digital art swirling all around them.
