Malaysia Day Celebration 2011

Taken place at Amphitheatre, Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus on 13 September 2011, we, Taylor’s University Symphony Orchestra has once again, celebrated the annual Malaysia Day together with Taylorians !

The celebration kicked off by the performance from Music Club, traditional dances from Dance Club, followed by Speeches from the president of Taylor's University Student Council and our vice chancellor, Professor Hassan as well as prize giving ceremony. It was then continued by our performance of the day: Negaraku & 1 Malaysia theme song in collaboration with Christian Fellowship as the choir!

We’re lucky to have Malaysia renowned composer, arranger and orchestrator, Mr. Ken Hor and his assistant Mr. Max Ooi to orchestrate 1Malaysia theme song specially for us. Also, we’d like to express our gratitude to Ken & Max for guiding and conducting us for this song.

It was quite a rush preparation as we only managed to spend around 3 days in practicing for the song due to hectic schedule of our members and time constraint. Still, we made it in just few days of time! ;)





1 of the highlights of the day would be the duet improvisation by our very own members, Szi Hang the violinist and Eric Kok the tenor saxophonist!

You’d definitely be mesmerized by their solo part when you listen to them at live performance!

Well, this will be the last performance of Szi Hang with us before he’s going to study abroad at UK on the next day after the performance.

A big THANK YOU for his contribution for this club all the while and all the best in your future endeavours!

Feel free to return to the big family of Taylor’s University Symphony Orchestra when you’re back in Malaysia!



Not to forget, thanks to our guest players from Sunway University College, KLPac Symphonic Band & UiTM in making this performance a success!
