The orchestra concert that I had watched and enjoyed was the school concert, which has performed at 25th October 2014, 12:30 pm. The concert was conducted at PERTRONAS Twin Tower (KLCC), MPO hall, which also known as Malaysian Phiharmonic Orchestra. The school concert has conducted for nearly 1 hour, which ends around 1:30 pm. The title for this concert was “The Mysterious Maestro”. There were total of twelve pieces that have performed by the orchestra.
The first piece was named “Overture from The Force of Destiny”, the second piece was “Bachianis Brasileiras No.5 - Aria”, and the third piece was “Mediatation from Thais”. Next, the fourth piece was “Hannah’s song”, the fifth piece was “Estudiantina”, and the sixth piece was “Caucasian Sketches No.1 from Procession of the Sardars”. Then, the seventh piece was “Danse Macabre Op.40”, the eighth piece was “Frantic Forest Frenzy” and the ninth piece was “Les Preludes”. Last, the tenth piece was “Perfect Music-Breaking the Spell”, the eleventh pieces was “Symphony No.5-First Movement” and the last piece was “Ode to joy from Symphony No.9-Fourth Movement”. For the visual effects on the concert, the hall lighting was bright before the start of the concert. After that, lighting only focused on the stages of the hall. According to chief conductor of the St Peterburg Philharmonic Orchestra, the hall design has incorporated the acoustical devices to improve the sound and music quality (Yuri, 2013). For the arrangement of the stage development, it is similar to the standard layout of orchestra, the string instrument at the first session which is nearest to the audience. Violin is the right most of the string instrument session, viola in the middle and cello was at the leftmost. Then, harp was at behind of violin and double bass was at behind of cello. Second session is woodwind instrument, third session is brass instrument, and the last session is percussion. (Think Quest, 2010).
