Orchestra or puppets?

Hmmm... choices, choices! Why not go for both?

The orchestra I'm referring to is the KL Performing Arts Centre (KLPac) Sinfonietta.

I was at their inaugural concert last year themed "Candlelight Christmas". For a young orchestra, I think they performed pretty well. Since the theme was Christmas, they played mostly carols and favourites from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite. The finale was the powerful "Hallelujah Chorus" from Handel's "Messiah", performed with the 30-member guest youth choir "La Voce". They received a well deserved standing ovation at the end. I'm sure they would have gotten even better since then and I'm looking forward to next month's concert. This time around, they'll be playing music from blockbuster musicals and movie themes.

Then there's something a little different from the Gardner & Wife Theatre. More for the kids... or the kids at heart :-).
