Welcome by
The Patron
Welcome to another fantastic new season
with the MPO!
With each new season lies the promise of
exciting new repertoires, and a new line-up of
artists and conductors. I have no doubt that
the MPO will deliver beautiful and timeless
world-class performances throughout this new
season. I am particularly excited to note that
there will be another ballet festival, following
up on an earlier successful staging in 2013,
as well as another welcomed performance by
our young Malaysian talent, Tengku Ahmad
Irfan along with renowned Estonian conductor
Neeme Järvi.
I would like to acknowledge the efforts of the
MPO in community outreach programmes and
activities, and I am confident that these efforts
will be continued to bring joy and cheer to
people from all walks of life.
My heartfelt thanks to PETRONAS, sponsors and
our wonderful audiences; together, you have
enabled the MPO to showcase their talent and
virtuosity, while at the same time, inspiring
and enriching the lives of those we touch.
Please enjoy the new season’s offerings!

MAHLER Symphony No. 7
Each of Mahler’s gigantic symphonic creations
inhabits a world unto itself. The Seventh is a
kaleidoscope of orchestral colours and effects:
the bold tenor horn in the opening bars;
the magical echoing horns at the beginning
of the second movement; the ghostly,
nightmarish sounds in the third; the delicious
guitar and mandolin in the fourth; and the
riotous carnival of the fifth. It is perhaps
Mahler’s most fantastical, surrealistic
symphony, and one not to be missed.

alike. Preceding it on this programme are Debussy’s
three alluring Nocturnes that invite the listener to
visualise clouds, a festival, and the legendary sirens
luring sailors to their fate. One of Verdi’s finest and
dramatic overtures opens the programme.
Most concertos feature a single soloist, but the concerto
on this MPYO programme features two. MPO’s Timothy
Peters and Mátyás Major share the stage as soloists in
Brahms’s Double Concerto – a work of ardent lyricism and
soaring beauty. Sharing the podium are two conductors,
who open the programme with Mendelssohn’s haunting
Hebrides seascape, and close it with the world’s most
famous symphony, Beethoven’s Fifth.

Each of Mahler’s gigantic symphonic creations is
a deeply personal statement, a kind of private
confession. In his Ninth Symphony, Mahler
bares his soul, forcing us to share the terrifying
intensity of his visions and leaving us emotionally
exhausted by the end. At the other extreme of
Mahler’s emotional spectrum are his exquisite,
intimate, deeply personal songs, which include
five Rückert-Lieder.

compelling and impactful masterpieces. Similar to
the popular Symphony No. 40 in G minor performed

the essence of Mozart’s musical genius, expressing
intense emotion, both powerful and serene.

DEWAN
FILHARMONIK
PETRONAS
Dewan Filharmonik PETRONAS (DFP) is home to the Malaysian
Philharmonic Orchestra (MPO) and is Malaysia’s concert hall
devoted specifically to classical music. Located in the PETRONAS
Twin Towers, it was officially opened on 17 August 1998 by
the Patron of the MPO, Tun Dr. Siti Hasmah Haji Mohd Ali and
former Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad.
Designed by Cesar Pelli, the hall takes its inspiration from the
traditional shoe-box shape of the great 19th century European
concert halls with the magnificent Klais Pipe Organ providing
a spectacular backdrop to the hall’s stage. The hall seats 920,
which includes box seats, corporate suites and a royal suite.
Acoustics experts Kirkegaard and Associates have incorporated
unique acoustical devices into the design to maximize the hall’s
natural qualities.
Celebrating its 18th anniversary in 2015, DFP plays an integral
part in the music and cultural landscape of Malaysia and the
city of Kuala Lumpur. It attracts audiences and continues to
enthrall listeners as it has done since the day it first opened
its doors. In addition to stimulating and enriching concerts by
the MPO, world renowned orchestras including the New York
Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra, BBC Symphony and
Vienna Symphony have performed in this beautiful hall.
Beyond classical music, DFP has hosted such prominent
artists as Harry Connick Jr, the Count Basie Orchestra,
Yellowjackets, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Mezzoforte, Pink
Martini, Gotan Project and sitar virtuoso Anoushka Shankar.
In addition, Malaysian artists including Tan Sri SM Salim,
Dato’ Sheila Majid, Dato’ M. Nasir and Dato’ Siti Nurhaliza
have mesmerised audiences at DFP.
Always innovative in its programming, DFP’s crowd pleasing
Showcase, Seni Fest and Spotlight series have featured
international stars such as Laura Fygi, Zakir Hussain and
Larry Carlton in addition to local talents like Noryn Aziz,
Rachel Guerzo, Yuna, Aizat, Najwa, Hafiz and many others.
Concerts by talented young Malaysians who form the
Malaysian Philharmonic Youth Orchestra (MPYO) continue
to be hosted at this venue.
DFP’s success is also attributed to its exceptional
architectural design, superior acoustics and recording studio
modelled after the legendary Abbey Road Studios.

MALAYSIAN PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA
The Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra (MPO) gave its inaugural performance at Dewan Filharmonik
PETRONAS (DFP), Kuala Lumpur, on 17 August 1998. The initial search for outstanding musicians
involved a worldwide audition tour. The result was a symphony orchestra made up of musicians from
25 nations – a remarkable example of harmony among different cultures and nationalities.
A host of internationally-acclaimed conductors and musicians have worked with the MPO, including
Vladimir Ashkenazy, Fabio Luisi, Lorin Maazel, Sir Neville Marriner, Yehudi Menuhin, Joshua Bell,
Harry Connick Jr and Andrea Bocelli, many of whom have praised the MPO for its fine musical
qualities and vitality.
With each new season, the MPO continues to present a varied programme of orchestral music drawn
from over three centuries, as well as the crowd-pleasing Specials, Pops, Family Fun Day, Chamber
and Happy Hour series. It regularly presents specially commissioned new music and successfully
collaborates with local and international artists.
42
The MPO regularly visits the major cities of Malaysia. Internationally, it has been to Singapore, Japan
and Korea (2001), Australia (2004), China (2006), Taiwan (2007), Japan (2009) and Vietnam (2013).
The MPO’s Education and Outreach Programme, ENCOUNTER, reaches beyond the concert platform
to develop musical awareness, appreciation and skills through dedicated activities that include
instrumental lessons, workshops and school concerts. ENCOUNTER also arranges memorable events in
such diverse venues as orphanages, hospitals, rehabilitation centres and community centres.
MPO’s commitment to furthering musical interest in the nation has been the creation of the
Malaysian Philharmonic Youth Orchestra (MPYO).The MPYO gave its inaugural concert at DFP on 25
August 2007 and followed this with a highly-successful tour of several cities in Peninsular Malaysia.
In December 2008, the MPYO toured Sabah and Sarawak, and visited Singapore in 2009, and Brisbane,
Australia in December 2012.
As it celebrates its 18th season, the Orchestra remains steadfast in its mission to share the depth,
power and beauty of great music. The MPO’s main benefactor is PETRONAS and its Patron is Tun Dr. Siti
Hasmah Haji Mohd Ali.
