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.
Incidentally, this will be the orchestra’s second time paying tribute to Pink Floyd, following their 2017 Symphonic Pink Floyd concert. But for their second performance – The Music of Pink Floyd – the MPO will be led by renowned conductor Brent Havens.
