3 Message from the CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER Message from the PATRON My heartiest congratulations to Dewan Filharmonik PETRONAS and the on its 0th Anniversary celebration on August, this year. I am especially delighted to welcome Tengku Irfan as the Youth Brand Ambassador for the MPO and I am confident that Irfan will help to enhance the profile of MPO in the international arena. Over the years, DFP and MPO have significantly contributed to enhancing our cultural landscape, especially in classical music. Providing alternative entertainment, DFP and MPO have presented a variety of world-class performances that have undeniably enriched the life of Malaysians and the expatriate community. Since its inaugural performance in August 99, the MPO has grown as an orchestra of international virtuosity and continues to enthrall its audiences with its brilliant artistry. The MPO continues to promote and nurture young local talents through the Malaysian Philharmonic Youth Orchestra, with activities and programmes under the tutelage of MPO musicians. Simultaneously, the Education and Outreach programmes of the MPO have made huge contributions in creating awareness and appreciation of classical music through its activities with schools and other learning institutions, hospitals and community centres. I would like to thank our main donor PETRONAS, our sponsors, partners and concert patrons for their continuing support of MPO, the MPO musicians for their inspiring performances, and the staff of DFP and MPO for their tireless commitment and work behind the scenes. Welcome to our 0th Anniversary Special Season! On August, 0, we will mark the 0th Anniversary of MPO s inaugural performance at Dewan Filharmonik PETRONAS. MPO has kept alive the classical music heartbeat of the city, and stayed true to its promise and objective of nurturing, promoting and developing the love for classical music amongst Malaysians. Our concert repertoire and overall programming had undergone some changes over the years. Despite the constraints of our purpose-built concert hall, we had managed, beginning in Season 0/, to present exciting ballet and opera performances to introduce more versatility in our programming and to bring in new audiences. In Season 0/, we also presented the first-ever circus in DFP the Cirque de la Symphonie, and we rounded off last Season with a second performance in May 0. This Anniversary Special Season lends itself to a fitting cross-over and change to the format of our concert seasons. Beginning 09, our Concert Season shall commence in January and end in December of each Calendar Year, instead of the August-to-July window of previous seasons, which was in keeping with the European orchestral schedules. This new season schedule is part of our continuous improvement initiatives, and to enable us to better manage and align ourselves with the budgeting cycles of our main donor and sponsors. We take the opportunity of this Anniversary Special Season to announce that we have chosen Malaysian pianist prodigy, Tengku Ahmad Irfan Tengku Shahrizal, to be MPO s Youth Brand Ambassador. We congratulate Tengku Ahmad Irfan and we are confident that he will continue to make the MPO and Malaysia proud in the international classical music scene. Our search for the next Music Director or Principal Conductor is still ongoing, and we will make our announcement at the appropriate time. In the meantime, our orchestra will be given the opportunity to learn from and work with various well-known conductors, with their diverse styles and music interpretations. This Anniversary Special Season, albeit a short one, will nevertheless promise continuing musical adventures, beginning with a Gala performance on August, 0. I would like to conclude by thanking our main donor PETRONAS, our sponsors, partners, subscribers and audiences, for their continued support of the MPO, and to enable us to enhance the cultural landscape of Kuala Lumpur, as well as to reach out to various communities in the country. It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to MPO s 0th Anniversary Special, YABHG TUN DR.
