Belgian National Day @MPO 16 July 2011

It was a free organ recital on music with a strong Belgian connection, in conjuction with Belgium's National Day on 20th July.

I took this opportunity to give Enhui a sample of Belgium by letting them experience Belgian organ music

And some information on Belgium.

Brass Quintet at Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra 31 May 2011

trumpets, tuba, horn and trombone. 

I brought both En and Hui to the MPO happy hour. It was our first time sitting inside a box, which gave wonderful view of the stage. On the flip side, it also stressed me out when the little kids moved as we were so near the stage and in the center of the attraction ! :) 

Flight of the Bumblebee @MPO 28 May 2011

Hui sat on the floor and watched the orchestra the moment we stepped into the MPO ticketing counter. :)

It was our second MPO family fun day concerts. An hour of orchestra is the perfect duration for children.

 It's amazing how the presenter engaged the audiences in the orchestra.

At the end of the concert, the composer Rob Kapilow, the ballet dancer, pianist, and singers stayed back for a question and answer session for the audience !

Jam Busters @MPO 25 May 2011

This superb percussion performance got me to stamp my feet (and moved mentally!!). Marvellous. Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra Happy Hour is only RM9 per seat. A cheap affordable way to introduce my kids to all sort of music genre.

MPO Happy Hour Brass Quintet is our next one.
