Join the ASEAN Youth Orchestra Festival KL 2026 three-day workshops with the musicians of the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra. From strings, woodwinds, brass to percussion and chamber ensemble, these FREE workshops encourage exploration, offer a rare opportunity to gain insights from professional orchestral musicians in an interactive and welcoming environment and strengthen community connections through music. To be held at Rumah Tangsi, Kuala Lumpur.

In conjunction with the Festival Orkestra Kuala Lumpur and ASEAN Youth Orchestra Festival Kuala Lumpur 2026, experience the excellent artistry of the MPYO in a FREE concert for the public. An exciting programme includes folksongs from participating ASEAN countries, Malaysia's own patriotic Tanah Pusaka, new compositions and other pop and traditional songs. Joining our local musicians on stage are popular vocalists Aina Abdul, Amir Masdi, Ariana Wilson and Rueben Chelvan, demonstrating the MPYO's orchestral musicianship with virtuosity and panache. This event is supported by the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture.

This Gala Concert is a finale music celebration of the ASEAN Youth Orchestra Festival Kuala Lumpur 2026. From the energetic opening of Williams’ Olympic Fanfare And Theme to the virtuosic artistic collaboration in Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, culminating with the depth of Mahler’s First Symphony, the spirit of unity underlines this special performance. With Gerard Salonga at the helm and featuring pianist Celestine Yoong Qian Yi, this concert underscores the region's collective excellence and symbolises solidarity and harmony across ASEAN through the power of music.
