EDUCATION AND OUTREACH
Music is the universal language that offers a common bond among all people. It evokes emotions and rekindles vibrant memories. Music allows us to celebrate and preserve our cultural heritage and to explore the realms of our imagination, expression and creativity, resulting in a higher level of awareness and perception. The Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra (MPO) education & outreach activities focus on helping the wider community appreciating and enjoying classical music.
