REVEL IN THE YOUTHFUL VIBRANCY OF THE MPYO AT DFP!

Step into a musical splendour with the vibrancy of the Malaysian Philharmonic Youth Orchestra (MPYO) in a special concert on Wednesday, 15 April 2026 at 8.00 pm at Dewan Filharmonik PETRONAS (DFP), KLCC.

Under the helm of Gerard Salonga, the MPYO will present an enticing programme consisting of compositions by Mozart such as the sparkling Piano Concerto No.19 (first movement), Overture to The Magic Flute and the delightful Symphony No.39. Also included in the repertoire   is Beethoven’s playful Piano Concerto No.1 (third movement).

Themed Contours of Classical Beauty, the concert will affirm the youth ensemble as an orchestra to be reckoned with in this region. Its indelible artistry is the testament of the commitment of the musicians of the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra (MPO) who have guided and coached these young musicians through intensive trainings and mentorship. This is as part of the MPO’s initiatives in giving back to the community by sharing its knowledge and skills to the new generation of musicians, nurturing an appreciation towards classical music.

This performance will feature talented pianists as soloists: 12-year old Lim Yee Vaine and 17-year old Dorothy Ong Zhuo En who will enthrall the audience with their exceptional musicianship.

Yee Vaine has achieved Gold at a Yamaha Junior Piano Competition in Japan in 2023. The same year also witnessed her triumph at the Bangkok International Piano Competition and Steinway Malaysia Youth Piano Competition. In 2024, she received accolades at the Vivace Piano Competition. Since 2020, her compositions have been selected by Yamaha Japan and were featured at Yamaha Music Latin America in 2021.

Dorothy, on the other hand, has participated in many masterclasses with renowned pianists from Germany and Finland. She has also performed at the Euroasia Outreach – A Kaleidoscope of Colors II Concert in Johor and participated in prestigious piano competitions 

Tickets are priced at RM50, RM100 and RM150 (suite per seat) while student price is RM25.
