he Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra (MPO) welcomes home Malaysian viola da gamba player Ibrahim Aziz in an evening of Baroque music on Saturday, 30 November 2024 at 8.30 pm at Dewan Filharmonik PETRONAS (DFP), KLCC.
A native of Kuala Lumpur and currently based in London, Ibrahim will enthrall audience with his unique artistry on the fascinating six-string instrument through masterpieces such as Telemann’s Overture Suite for Gamba in D and Fiala’s Gamba Concerto in F.
Prior to his debut with the MPO, Ibrahim has performed at the Wigmore Hall and Purcell Room in London, and the National Concert Hall in Ireland. His performances have taken him to the USA, Europe and the Far East, showcasing his virtuosic playing on the viola da gamba. He has performed with different kinds of chamber ensembles; period, modern and contemporary. A prolific recording artist with 20 albums under his belt, his debut album Risonanze was described as ‘a recording to be reckoned with’ by the American Record Guide.
Besides the aforementioned works, the MPO will open and close the concert with a symphony; Bach’s Symphony in D (a modest affair) and Mozart’s Symphony No.39 in E flat (a pinnacle of the repertory). Benjamin Bayl returns to the DFP podium to weave his magic after his collaboration with the MPO in 2019. He has conducted a broad range of repertoire from the great Viennese classics, Baroque and Romantic works, and new commissions, and is often invited to present great oratorios of Bach, Handel and Mozart.
The MPO will continue to strive to provide the best performances and diverse programming accessible to everyone. You have been our inspiration, motivating us through all of our hard work, hours of practice, commitment and challenges at every level. All of our achievements are due to your love and support.
