The Malaysian Philharmonic Youth Orchestra Auditions
THE MALAYSIAN PHILHARMONIC YOUTH ORCHESTRA
On 13 January 06, PETRONAS, together with the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra (MPO) announced the inauguration of the Malaysian Philharmonic Youth Orchestra (MPYO) at Mandarin Oriental Kuala Lumpur.
Talented musicians from all over the country aged between 14 and 26 will be invited to audition for the MPYO this coming May 06 and June 06 for a season of activities that starts in September 2006.
The début concert of the MPYO will take place in August 2007 at Dewan Filharmonik PETRONAS (DFP) as part of the MPO’s 10th anniversary gala celebrations. Prior to that, the MPYO will conduct a series of music camps and weekend rehearsals around the country under the guidance of the MPYO Principal Conductor, Kevin Field.
Each season, members of the orchestra will receive expert coaching from the musicians of the MPO on a variety of symphonic and chamber music and have the opportunity to take part in masterclasses and workshops.
Principal Conductor, Kevin Field said, “The formation of the MPYO is one of the most important music events since the formation of the MPO itself and I can’t wait to discover talented youths from across the country who will form a group of dedicated musicians passionate about performing.”
Kevin was keen to acknowledge that this was not just an ensemble for Kuala Lumpur and the Klang Valley. He said, ”We are auditioning right across the country; have scheduled music camps in and outside of KL throughout the season and will be touring nationally next year.”
The MPYO will offer regular rehearsal and performance opportunities and, in doing so, will provide its members with a host of life-long skills that can be utilised in whatever professional career path each member chooses to take.
Kevin went on to say, “Most of my colleagues in my youth orchestra days went on to become everything but a professional musician!”. Kevin added, “The MPYO is there as a vital addition to an overall learning experience. We hope that some day a few may be of a standard to join the MPO but whatever their career choice, the experience garnered from performing in the MPYO will last them a lifetime.”
