Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra Family Fun Day with The Bear
I was so excited to date my youngest boy Jordan to watch this show, The Bear accompanied by The Malaysian Philharmoic Orchestra. The orchestra was conducted by Harish Shankar. I always love MPO’s Family Fun Day, not only because I can bring my boys to enjoy it but also the lighter format of how things are presented. Conductors are not only great in waving their wands, but they are actually really great presenters. Harish lifted the mood of the hall and captured the attention of all the young ones. Harish is the Winner of the 6th International Jorma Panula Conducting Competition, he has been featured in Classical Music Magazine, interviewed…

The Classical Clown At MPO
Before Jordan turned 4, I knew I wanted to to take him to the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra. The youngest age for entry was 4 so I had wait till he grew a little. I brought Josiah to the orchestra last year when he was 6 and he totally enjoyed it too.
