Revel in Nostalgia as The MPO Presents Songs From Hong Kong Classics @ DFP

The Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra (MPO) remains the torchbearer in cultivating public interest in music and its effort goes beyond Western classical music. Fresh from successful concerts themed Teresa Teng Tribute Concert in 2023 and Celestial Serenade last year, the MPO continues to manifest its versatility in an upcoming concert themed Symphony of Memories: Nostalgic Hong Kong Classics on Saturday, 22 March 2025 at 8.00 pm at Dewan Filharmonik PETRONAS (DFP), KLCC.

The MPO will pay homage to the rich sounds and harmonious tunes of Hong Kong classics. Among the songs to be performed are soundtracks from TV series such as The Bund, Love And Passion, Fatal Irony, The Shell Game and The Legend of Condor Heroes.

Also included in the programme are songs from movies such as Game Gambler Play and A Chinese Odyssey Part 2: Cinderella. The repertoire will also include 80s hit songs such as Beautiful Shadow (popularised by Kenneth Choi), Lament of Life’s Lessons (a hit by Sam Hui), Loving Just You (Danny Chan) and Boundless Oceans Vast Skies made popular by the group Beyond, considered an anthem of Cantonese rock music.

Under the baton of Hong Kong-born Francis Kan, the MPO will collaborate with four singers:

Ipoh-born Kaho Loh has an over 10-year music experience under his belt. Besides Malaysia, he has performed in the USA, China, Hong Kong and Singapore. His diverse music style in Cantonese, Mandarin, English and Malay repertoire has contributed to his artistic appeal. A finalist of the Astro Classic Songs Singing Competition, this achievement has further solidified his stature in the local music industry.

Tan Soo Suan is a veteran award-winning vocalist and resident singer of Dama Asia, a renowned theatre company. Her accolades include the Boh Cameronian Arts Awards and National Grand Champion of Classical Singing. She has produced several recordings and performed in Australia, Canada, Indonesia and Taiwan.

Lim Yong Huat who hailed from Perak, has participated in many competitions including Astro Star Quest in 1997. Staying true to his passion and craft in the arts despite many challenges, he pursued his dream and participated in Astro Classic Golden Melody in 2018 where he emerged as a winner.

Pahang-born Amy Chan has released over 10 albums and participated in Astro Classic Golden Melody in 2015. She has appeared in various TV programme including in Hong Kong for Voice of the Middle Ages 2, embracing new dynamics, insights and fresh musical inspiration. She is also a judge for Astro talent shows and an organizer for charity concerts.

Revel in a nostalgic walk down the memory lane when the MPO brings you back to the golden era of Hong Kong showbusiness in a concert where every beat tells a story…
