What is a more befitting way to celebrate Malaysia
Day than with the screening of OlaBola
with its score presented ‘live’ by the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra (MPO)!
The spectacular showcases are scheduled on Friday, 15 September 2017 and Saturday, 16 September 2017 at 8.30 pm at Dewan Fiharmonik PETRONAS
(DFP).
This will be the first time the MPO accompanies the
screening of a local movie; prior to this, the MPO has presented the ‘live’
soundtrack for the screenings of Hollywood movies such as Psycho, Home Alone, Casablanca, and Charlie Chaplin’s Modern Times and The Gold
Rush.
In true Malaysia Day spirit, this local blockbuster
is lauded for its positive themes of national unity, patriotism, determination
and teamwork. Released in January 2016 by Astro Shaw, OlaBola is a Malaysian football film directed by Chiu Keng Guan and
was inspired by the glories of the Malaysian national football team which
successfully qualified for the Summer Olympics in Moscow in 1980. The movie collected
more than RM15 million at the box office.
OlaBola has won many awards at both local and
international film festivals. Its theme song, Arena Cahaya, written and sung by Zee Avi and co-produced by her
and Rendra Zawawi, won Best Original Theme Song at the Taipei Golden Horse Film
Festival, whilst Onn San, who wrote the movie score, won the coveted Best
Original Score award at the 28th Malaysia Film Festival last year.
The movie also won a Special Jury Award for its inspiring themes.
These concerts will be helmed by Australia-born Jessica Cottis. The music is
orchestrated for the MPO by Isaac Chia and Onn San. Besides the original music
score, the concerts will present new music for some scenes which was not in the
movie.
Singer Juwita
Suwito will perform Arena Cahaya with
the MPO. The orchestra will also present two other songs from the movie; We Are Heroes and We Will Believe Again. The concerts will feature the UCSI Chorale and vocalist Stephanie Van Driesen.
Astro Shaw is the Official Partner for these
special showcases.
So readers, lets celebrate Malaysia Day with the magic of OlaBola only at DFP!
