Malaysian Philharmonic Youth Orchestra (MPYO) is a full symphonic orchestra of young talented Malaysian musicians. The core programme of MPYO includes weekend rehearsals, tutorials, concerts, residential music camps and tours. There may also be chances for members to attend workshops, masterclasses, perform chamber music, and also perform side-by-side with the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra (MPO). In addition to the regular director, Kevin Field, members will have the opportunity to work with leading guest artists and conductors. Notable players in the orchestra's alumni include Jae Sern Lim and Nami Baradan, both of whom were concertmasters. Baradan lead the orchestra on its inaugural concert with a repertoire that included the premiere of Malaysian composer Adeline Wong's "Ria!" and Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherezade, with great solo success. Other noteworthy musicians include Duncan Yeow, Li Yen, Tan Shing-Ji, and alumni members Andrew Ng, Isaac Chia, Howard Ng, Angela Lou, Eugenia Lou and Tan Chui Ling. == Biography == The initial steps towards realising the long-cherished dream of the late PETRONAS Chairman, Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Azizan Zainul Abidin, to create a youth orchestra as a ‘stage for young talent’, alongside the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra, were taken on 13 January 2006. Some 500 aspiring instrumentalists from across Malaysia auditioned and 110 – with an average age of 18 – were selected to form the Malaysian Philharmonic Youth Orchestra (MPYO). After a period of intensive training under its Principal Conductor, Kevin Field and mentors drawn from the ranks of the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra, the MPYO gave its first public concert in Dewan Filharmonik PETRONAS on 25 August 2007. Since then, the MPYO has established a pattern of music camps held at least four times a year and culminating in performances in Kuala Lumpur and beyond. So far it has toured various cities in West Malaysia (December 2007) and Sabah and Sarawak (December 2008) with repertoire ranging from specially-commissioned works by Malaysian composers to the core symphonic repertoire. In November 2008, a second nationwide round of auditions was held to ensure the MPYO continues to fulfil its aim of encouraging young musicians to appreciate orchestral music and to build a pool of well-trained Malaysian instrumentalists, community and professional performers, teachers and inspired amateurs. In 2009, the MPYO toured Singapore in a sold-out concert at the Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music at the National University of Singapore. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Malaysian Philharmonic Youth Orchestra」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
