MPO’s Native Foray

October 27, 2011 at 2:00 pm

Malaysians are very lucky to be blessed with so many wonderful things. Except for the occasional riots and demonstrations, there has been no life-threatening wars or genocide after World War II. Though the country was also affected by the downturn of the economy back in the 80s, most people still had jobs and enough funds to support their family. Children grew up playing together with their friends of all races, and it has become second nature for us to visit our friends during festive occasions such as Chinese New Year, Hari Raya Aidilfitri or even Deepavali.

The Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra ensemble will be performing original music inspired by Datuk Siti Nurhaliza
