Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra (MPO) is funded by the Petroliam Nasional Berhad (Petronas). The 105-member symphony orchestra is made up of musicians from 22 countries. On 17th August 1998, MPO performed its inaugural performance under the direction of Music Director Kees Bakels at Dewan Filharmonik Petronas in Kuala Lumpur. Matthias Bamert joins the MPO as its new Principal Conductor and Artistic Advisor commencing 2005. The orchestra's motto "Hear And You Will See" is a reflection of its purpose: to share the depth, power and beauty of great orchestral music.

It is undeniably one of the best philharmonic orchestra in Asia.
