Malaysian Youth Orchestra Foundation (MYOF)

More than 2000 years have passed since those words on the cover were penned; yet the sentiment is just as relevant today as the world stands on the first quarter of the 21st century.

Music, performed with precision yet exuding passion and spontaneity, somehow embraces its audience in a special magic. Music lifts the spirits. Music unites. Music speaks without words. Music transcends colour, creed and culture. And music is a powerful medium to help shape behaviour.

With the establishment of the Malaysian Youth Orchestra Foundation, talented young people of this country will be able to hone their abilities, promote a sense of teamwork, and focus their minds and bodies to produce works of beauty in accordance with world-class standards.

An appreciation for orchestral music, be it European or Asian, brings a unique pleasure to both performer and listener alike.

With your enthusiasm, support and encouragement, Malaysian youths will soon be trained to take their place among the finest on the international orchestral music scene.

The Malaysian Youth Orchestra Foundation is a first step – to the outward reaches of the world’s top concert halls as well as to “the inward places of the soul”.
