“Dancas da Siu Mui Mui”, a piano suite for children, was composed in 1967-68 and published in Hong Kong in 1971.<\/p>

Besides academic studies, the Academia de Musica de S Pio X organized public concerts, free of charge, and invited many internationally famous musicians to give concerts in Macau.<\/p>

In 1983, he founded the\u00a0Macau Chamber Orchestra<\/a>\u00a0with British composer\u00a0Stuart Bonner<\/a>\u00a0and a group of friends. The members of the orchestra were amateur musicians and music teachers from the Academy, which was later incorporated to the Macau Cultural Institute.<\/p>

Fr. \u00c1ureo dedicated his life to the promotion of music and his talents as teacher and composer are widely recognized. Today, students from the Academia can be found in Portugal, France, Switzerland, Australia, USA and Canada. In 1987 and 1990, he was twice decorated by the Macau Government with the Medal of Cultural Merit.<\/p>

Fr. \u00c1ureo died on 21 January 1993, aged 76, at the Complexo Hospitalar Conde de S. Januario, and was buried at the Cemetery of Sao Miguel Arcanjo.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
