[Upcoming Event] SERENADE: THE MPYO PERFORMS CLASSICAL MASTERPIECES AT DEWAN FILHARMONIK PETRONAS!
Kuala Lumpur, February
2017- Let’s
get a taste of the classical masterpieces this weekend as The Malaysian Philharmonic Youth Orchestra (MPYO) continues to
bring its youthful enthusiasm through its music in its upcoming concert on
Sunday, 12 February 2017 at 3.00 pm at Dewan Filharmonik PETRONAS (DFP).
SERENADE
Date: 12th
February 2017
Time: 3pm
Venue: Dewan Filharmonik
Petronas (DFP)
the
MPYO is one of Malaysia’s youngest orchestras that was officially launched on
13 January 2006 with an objective to encourage and nurture local young
musicians’ passion and appreciation of all genres of symphonic music.
As
a ‘stage for young talent’, each
section of the orchestra receives professional coaching from the more senior Malaysian
Philharmonic Orchestra (MPO) musicians. Besides major cities in Malaysia, the
MPYO has brought the beauty of its music to audiences in Singapore and
Brisbane, Australia.
Under
the baton of Naohisa Furusawa, the
ensemble of talented musicians will open the concert with the bright and breezy
Fanfare to La Peri composed by
Frenchman Paul Dukas in 1912. It is a symphonic poem with a choreographic
interpretation. The MPO performed this work in November 2016. This work offers
only a teaser for the musical richness to be found in this score through the
brief but splendid brass fanfare.
Then
comes Dvořák’s melodic invention, Serenade in D minor, one of his
sunniest creations, with its premiere given in Prague in 1878. Also included in
the repertoire list for the afternoon are Tournier’s
Prelude for Harp Duets Nos. 1 and 2,
and Tchaikovsky’s Serenade for Strings
in C major. The latter is a thoroughly delightful work of four contrasting
movements of concise structure. Its first public performance was given in 1881
in St. Petersburg to an appreciative audience. The opening movement is like a
homage to Mozart while the second movement has the Viennese waltz element. The
third is a romantic interlude while the finale has a transcription of a Moscow
folk song.
Beguile
in the brilliant musicianship of our very own MPYO, only at DFP!
