ABOUT The klpac Symphonic Band
Soon after The klpac Orchestra was formed, The Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre (klpac) established The klpac Symphonic Band in 2009 which made its debut with “Friendship in Concert”.

Like the other music ensembles under klpac, The klpac Symphonic Band is a community-oriented initiative aimed at providing a platform for brass, wind and percussion players to hone their skills and perform regularly. It was established to fill a gap in the local music scene where many band musicians who started playing during their schooling years were left with no avenue to grow and pursue their interest after leaving school. Its members are musicians and music lovers from different backgrounds and age groups who are admitted based on an audition.

The klpac Symphonic Band has been under the leadership of Music Director and Resident Conductor Cheryl Mah since 2011. It performs a packed concert season yearly and its “Ultimate Music Crawl” concert bagged the “BEST OF 2019” Award at the 17th BOH Cameronian Arts Awards 2020.

Since 2022, the band has been running an all-important Outreach Collaborative Project annually with some of the best music educators in town and it culminates in a public concert entitled “An Uncommon Journey”. The outreach project has benefited 71 wind musicians and percussionists aged 16 to 22 from Klang Valley as well as beyond.

On the audience development front, the band initiated its “Music Play Date” series in 2022, which is an interactive concert held outdoors for families particularly those with young children.

2023 marked another major milestone for the band as it proudly represented Malaysia during its first international tour to the Chiayi City International Band Festival (CCIBF) in Chiayi, Taiwan where it performed alongside over 100 bands from five different countries.
