Prof Dato’ Ewe expressed, “I wish to extend my heartfelt thanks to all members of the Chinese Orchestra. It is your hard work and relentless efforts that made this concert a success. You not only conveyed love and hope through music but also brought honour and respect to yourselves and UTAR. I believe that through today’s performance, you not only showcased your exceptional talent and skills but also further enhanced your artistic development and teamwork capabilities.”

Tan said, “We aim to showcase the rich musical heritage of the Chinese culture through the performances as well as the traditional Chinese instruments and compositions. Hereby, enhancing cultural confidence. Tonight, other than traditional music pieces, you will be listening to some modern songs presented in the form of a Chinese orchestra too. This fusion creates a unique musical style that maintains the essence of traditional Chinese music while incorporating the vibrant rhythms of modern music.”

Throughout the concert, the musicians showcased their exceptional talent and dedication. Each performance was met with enthusiastic applause, reflecting the audience’s appreciation for the intricate compositions and the emotional depth of the music.

In addition to the musical performances, the event featured visual elements that complemented the theme. Soft lighting and floral decorations enhanced the ambience, creating a multi-sensory experience that immersed the audience in the essence of spring. The careful attention to detail in both the music and the setting underscored the orchestra’s commitment to delivering a memorable concert.

The Chambré Music Concert 2024 was not only a celebration of spring but also a testament to the talent and hard work of the UTARSLCO. It provided a platform for the musicians to showcase their skills and for the community to come together and appreciate the beauty of orchestral music.
