Interpretation Lunar New Year (CNY) as the most significant festival in China, celebrates the New Year as well as the past. It is a time when people wish to get rid of the bad luck or even the old self of the past year, and hoping good fortune in the coming year. In an international context, it not only gives people with Chinwa related background a sense of comfort but also an opportunity for people who did not know or experience before a chance to understand deeper about Chinese culture. Especially when Melbourne is experiencing a population growth in migration, the targeted audience can be very broad. To incorporate both targeted audience, a common language which surpasses the language boundary is music. Therefore, a CNY celebration in the form of a grand carnival happening throughout the city come to existence. And as a part of the grand event, Arts Centre Melbourne Lawn branch focus on the theme of the Future.
