Maximus Musicus Visits The MPO Orchestra
Maximus Musicus is a rather peculiar little mouse and this is the story of him getting lost in the orchestra. This is one very interesting way to introduce the instruments and the background of the orchestra to the little ones. Furthermore, Datuk Yasmin Yusoff is the story teller, how can I miss this? I practically grew up with her voice on the radio. I believe she can make any story come to life effortlessly.

I thought it would be a great chance to introduce my childhood cartoons to my kids aged 6 and 9. There’s nothing…

MPO’s Heavenly Mahler Review
Together with my guest Elsa, we attended the MPO’s Heavenly Mahler last week at the Petronas Towers. The programme features the renowned piece by Gustav Mahler, Symphony No. 4. The conductor was Roberto Abbado, who was awarded the prestigious Premio Abbiati by the Italian Music Critics Association.
