Message from the Chairman
Masami Shigeta
FACP Chairman
Welcome to the 34th Annual Conference of the Federation for Asian Cultural Promotion (FACP) in Penang, Malaysia 2016.
This
is the second FACP Conference to be held in Malaysia. The first was in Kuala
Lumpur in 2009, which was 7 years ago. This year, we are so grateful to have
our Conference in George Town, which is listed as a UNESCO World Cultural
Heritage Site, in this beautiful island of Penang, Malaysia.
We
are also happy to tie-up this FACP Conference with the George Town Festival. Festivals
like this are a very important foundation of performing arts industry.
Our
theme this year is very timely: “Arts Marketing / Audience Building and Arts
Education - Traditional Arts and
Classical Music”.
We
warmly welcome Prof. Hardy Yong Xiangas, Vice Dean of Peking University, as the
keynote speaker for this Conference. We also welcome Mr. Lim Guan Eng, Penang
Chief Minister.
FACP is a unique
organization in Asia where people from the performing arts industry,
orchestras, concert venues, artist management, conservatories, music schools
and the like, are gathering together to build networks and as well as to
exchange information and ideas.
I would like to
express my sincere thanks to Mr. Joe Sidek and George Town Festival staff for
all their hardwork.
I am sure that the
3-day Conference in Penang will be a valuable experience for all of you.
