Conducted by UK-trained violinist-conductor,Brian Tan,we will also be playing Peter Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite,a series of beautiful symphonic ballet music that's exciting and melodious.I truly love playing the pieces although they are greatly challenging.

It is the fastest way to appreciate classical music,I discover.That's because you are "involved" in the "music making".I come to appreciate composers even more for their brilliance to "see"how the music sound in their mind,like Mozart.

Every instrument is communicating with each other to fabricate a story with sounds in certain formats- when you can make sense of that, listening to orchestra music suddenly comes alive ! You learn to anticipate what's coming rather than just looking to hear a "beautiful tune". I attribute this very important key to appreciating classical music sitting in Ann Perreau's classes when she was teaching my son piano and music appreciation.

You will love the silky flow of strings in "Greensleeves",a lovely,melancholic English tune set to orchestrative rendition that will "kill" you with nostalgia...I 'die' and melt like butter,absorbing every moment of joy practising it with the orchestra...bath in the many-splendid sounds of the different musical instruments in harmony...The wonder of synergy when different musical instruments come together...

The performance will take place in this beautiful,modern and fully equipped theatre in semi-proscenium style that seats 504 people .

This is NOT some American campus ground....This is KL Pac ( Performance Arts Centre ),in Sentul West !! Come to think of it,this reminds me of Aaron's ( my son's ) varsity in the US which is surrounded by beautiful lakes...

If you don't believe this is KL Pac - I suggest you come for the concert and verify this beautiful Park exists in Sentul West!
