MPYO & Friends at Dewan Filharmonik Petronas

Hello readers ..

Remember my entry about Malaysian Philharmonic Youth Orchestra (MPYO)? In case if you have forgotten about it, click this Entry to find out more.

I recently had an opportunity to witness one of the orchestra show MPYO. The performance was great!! Good news to those who have not watch any of their show yet ..

The very own Malaysian Philharmonic Youth Orchestra (MPYO) continues its 10^th anniversary celebration with a pioneering collaboration with RTM Orchestra (or Orkestra Radio Televisyen Malaysia) this October. Audience will witness the performances of one of the country’s youngest orchestras together with the oldest ensemble in Malaysia.

Themed ‘MPYO & Friends’, the collaboration is scheduled on Saturday, 7 October 2017 and Sunday, 8 October 2017 at 8.30 pm at Dewan Filharmonik PETRONAS (DFP), KLCC.

Prior to this, the MPYO has collaborated with Yayasan Warisan Johor, Orkestra Tradisional Malaysia, Hong Kong Children’s Symphony Orchestra and Queensland Youth Symphony Orchestra. All collaborations have stretched the MPYO’s virtuosity and versatility to another level.    

RTM Orchestra is recognized by the Malaysian Book of Records as the nation’s longest-running orchestra and has presented many mega-concerts both locally and abroad. Founded in 1961, the 45-member orchestra has become the nation’s pride in the arts and culture scene. The orchestra has also released 25 albums of various music genres.      

In these concerts, the MPYO and RTM Orchestra will collaborate with renowned singers such as Dato’ Jamal Abdillah, Adibah Noor and jazz legend from Indonesia, Harvey Malaihollo, through a  mesmerizing repertoire which consists of songs such as Dia, Jerat, Hujan, Begitulah Cinta, Kau Lupa Janji, Samrah Mentari and Ghazal Untuk Rabiah.

Other songs to be included in the concerts are Jauh Jauh, Airmata Berderai, Suatu Masa, Dark Eyes and We Are One.

All concerts will be led by MPYO’s Ahmad Muriz Che Rose and RTM’s Leonard Yeap while Dato’ Mokhzani Ismail will act as the artistic director for these showcases.

These concerts will affirm the MPYO’s status as an orchestra full of vibrant enthusiasm and energy, having grown by leaps and bounds since its establishment in 2006. With its current 98 members, the MPYO aims to nurture and encourage young musicians in their passion and integrate them into a highly skilled ensemble. In its brief existence, it has showcased its brilliant musicianship all around Malaysia including Sabah and Sarawak, Singapore and Brisbane, Australia.

Beguile in these magical splendour with the two orchestras, only at DFP!
