[UPCOMING EVENT] “MAGIC
IN MUSIC” AT DEWAN FILHARMONIK PETRONAS
THE MPO
PRESENTS ‘MAGIC IN MUSIC’ AT DEWAN FILHARMONIK PETRONAS!
Kuala Lumpur, January
2017 – Happy
New Year Everyone! It’s a brand new year with brand new goals and resolutions!
Why not kick off your wonderful year with some magic at DEWAN FILHARMONIK PETRONAS as The Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra
(MPO) starts its Family Fun Day concerts on Saturday, 7 January 2017 at 3.00 pm
and Sunday, 8 January 2017 at 2.30 pm at Dewan Filharmonik PETRONAS
(DFP), KLCC.
This
time around, the concert is themed as Magic in Music. The MPO will bring
its audience on a magical journey via an exciting programme with themes of
mystery, adventures and, of course, magic. The repertoire will include John Williams’ Hedwig’s Theme from the blockbuster movie ‘Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone’ and excerpts from Mozart’s
famous opera ‘The Magic Flute’.
Audience
including children alike will be treated to excerpts from Dvorak’s opera, ‘Rusalka’, (a work based on a popular
Czech fairytale about a mystical mermaid) and Humperdinck’s popular children
fairytale ‘Hansel ünd Gretel’, the
story about kinship, bravery and the battle between good and evil.
The
concerts will close with the symphonic poem The Sorcerer’s Apprentice
by Dukas, a popular concert piece dated in 1797. It found a much bigger
audience and earned a spot in popular culture when it was featured in a segment
of Disney’s animation ‘Fantasia’.
Again,
French conductor Guillaume Tourniaire
will resume his role as a conductor, weaving his magic on the MPO. He will be
assisted by Yasmin Yusoff, a renowned
figure in the Malaysian entertainment industry. She is one of the most familiar
hosts, DJs and sought-after emcees in the country, and she is also a staunch
advocate of the MPO since its inception. She received her Dato’ship from HRH Sultan of Pahang for her immense contribution to
the broadcasting world and charity works.
These
concerts will also feature singers Daniel
Carison, Ang Mei Foong, Yeoh Ker Ker, YiLing Chaing, Yap Jin Hin
and Anna Siminska, who will lend
their beautiful voices to further enhance your concert experience.
Enjoy
a musical treat that you and your family will never forget, only at DFP! These
concerts are suitable for adults and also children aged 4 and above.
