First of all, the JPO would like to
thank the ABRSM, Rumah Terbalik -
The Upside Down House in Borneo!, Tourism Malaysia Sabah, SABAH ART
Gallery and a few others anonymous donors for their financial
support and support in kind to make this festival possible. And we are
pleased to be able to contribute and reach out to so many groups of musicians,
students, communities and even the Underprivileged Kids (300+ Participants)
through music making and sharing.
The best part is it is all free for
participants to learn with a renowned experienced international teaching
faculty. The workshops are designed to cater for different levels of playing
technique from elementary to advance level. And it breaks all the boundaries
including country, wealth, race, religion and age group. Hence it brings about
integration among the different communities.
The participating groups includes
members and students of Jesselton
Philharmonic Orchestra, STTSS Strings Ensemble, Kian Kok String Orchestra, D'Arte Ensemble,
Jireh Home, Skycommunity Kota Marudu Youth, Rainbow of Hope, Jesselton Strings
Program, Prelude Music and Song En Church Strings.
The soloists for "An Evening
With Bach" on 19th July are made up of an international team which
includes Mathias Boegner (Swiss/German
Violinist),Jeffrey Solares (Filipino Violinist), Yap
Ling (Malaysian Violinist), Jennifer Hsu (Taiwanese
Flutist), Brenda Okura (Canadian Flutist), David Chin (Australian
Clarinetist), Stephen Johnsons Tseu (Malaysian Cellist)
and Grace Sui Lin Lee (Malaysian Pianist)
Our objective is to raise the standard of string playing
at the same time bring to awareness the intrinsic value of string music where
people can learn to appreciate the beauty it brings.
