A perfect fusion of rock and classical music.

This March, the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra (MPO) presents a fusion of rock and classical music with a tribute concert to Pink Floyd. In a special presentation, the orchestra will perform the signature tunes of the legendary British progressive rock band.
