“Let The Classics Come Alive”
L-R Sebastian See-Schierenberg, Lee Yin Hwa & Susana Galván
On 16th January 2010, the classics came alive at the The Dome Restaurant in Meru Valley Resort in a musical performance by British violinist Sebastian See-Schierenberg and Ipoh-born pianist, Lee Yin Hwa, who were splendidly complemented by Spanish concert presenter Susana Galván.
Susana’s entertaining and flamboyant presentation, which included some fascinating and even scandalous facts about the lives of crazy composers, eccentric musicians, and other unbelievable stories from the classical music world, was a breath of fresh air to what one would normally expect of a classical music recital. According to Susana, what made their maiden trip to Ipoh so special was that it is actually the hometown of Sebastian’s mother. Sebastian, who is of Chinese-Malaysian and German descent, is no stranger to Malaysia, having taught and performed at the Malaysian Philharmonic Music Chambers and Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra respectively. Susana had served as the Director of Education at the British Council and even shared that it was in Malaysia that Sebastian and her met and eventually got married! Yin Hwa, a well-known musician, is glad to be back in Ipoh as he currently serves as a member of the piano faculty at UCSI and UM in Kuala Lumpur.
A violin master class was held earlier that day for students of Tenby Schools Ipoh by courtesy of the performers. They look forward to any opportunity to bring their recital and master classes to Ipoh again as they had a great time here. The event was jointly organised by Tenby Schools Ipoh and Meru Valley Resort Berhad
