"Under the baton of its Music Director, Claus Peter Flor, the MPO will showcase its musicianship in an all-Beethoven showcase performing Overture: Coriolan and the astounding masterpiece, Symphony No.5.
What makes the concerts even more auspicious is the MPO’s pioneering collaboration with Malaysia’s very own child prodigy, Tengku Ahmad Irfan Tengku Ahmad Shahrizal. Together, the dynamic duo will bring the house down by presenting Piano Concerto in E flat.
A gifted pianist in his own right, Tengku Ahmad Irfan showed a prodigious early talent for music, started his piano lessons at 7. Within 2 years, he was awarded the Trinity Guildhall Certificate of Excellence for Grade 5 Solo Piano, before receiving distinction in his Grade 8.
His early public performances saw him bravely tackling demanding repertoire with untutored interpretations, revealing passion and raw talent. It attracted attention and led to a ‘live’ televised performances and events with the MPO Education & Outreach Programme. He has attended masterclasses with Professor Dr Arbo Valdma and is currently under the tutelage of Professor Snezana Panovska.
In addition to this, he revealed an early interest in composition at 6, composing a full length piano sonata. Audience will witness Tengku Ahmad Irfan’s own composition of his piano cadenzas for each of the three movements of the Piano Concerto.
Be part of this exceptional extravaganza; a dazzling combination of an 11–year–old MPO and an 11–year–old virtuoso in an unforgettable showcase that will set fire for an exciting new season."
