Beyond Mozart

Travel through time in The klpac String Orchestra’s Beyond Mozart which explores the works of this renowned composer of the Classical era then bringing us forward in time through other composers like Jean Sibelius and Gustav Holst then finally to more recent composers of the 20th Century.

Under the baton of Resident Conductor and Music Director Andrea Sim, the concert showcases some of Mozart’s most well-known works produced in his short life including the Overture from his hit comic opera The Marriage of Figaro, the joyful Eine Kleine Nachtmusik (A Little Night Music) and Ave verum corpus, a motet written specially for his friend Anton Stoll.

The concert also features music by his peer Ludwig van Beethoven whose works bridge the Classical and Romantic period. The klpac String Orchestra is set to perform the first and third movement of Symphony No. 5 whose opening four-note motif is instantly recognisable.

Beyond Mozart also brings you through a sampling of works from England, Finland and Russia as they perform the works of Peter Warlock’s set of dances Capriol Suite, Jean Sibelius’ Impromptu for Strings Op. 5 and Gustav Holst’s St. Paul’s Suite.

ABOUT The klpac String Orchestra
With more and more players picking up an instrument from a young age, The Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre (klpac) decided it was time to reach out to these young musicians.

The idea of having a String Ensemble was planted back in 2010 and it was swiftly cemented. The klpac String Ensemble was formed in September the same year with its youngest member then aged only nine. The klpac String Ensemble debuted with “Fantastikal Strings” in April 2011 under the baton of Dr. Takahisa Ota.

Over the years, its members grew and the ensemble was officially renamed The klpac String Orchestra in 2017. Under the leadership of Norman Ong, The klpac String Orchestra toured to Penang in 2018 as well as to Bangkok, Thailand, to take part in and perform at the Southeast Asia Music Education Exchange (SEAMEX) 2018.

The klpac String Orchestra welcomed on board a new Music Director and Resident Conductor, Andrea Sim, in 2021. She debuted with the sold out “Reminiscing with the klpac String Orchestra” in June / July 2022.

Resident Music Directors:
Dr Takahisa Ota (2012-2014)
Mr Norman Ong (2015 – 2020)
Ms Andrea Sim (2021 – Present)
