The Musical Link

It's that time of year again... 👀

This one's for all the Star Wars fans out there! 🚀

Rondo Fest 2024 will be held at SENTRAL College, Penang (11-14 June 2024) and Majestic Theatre, Penang (15 June 2024), providing a creative platform for cultural exchange, collaborative music-making, and the pursuit of artistic excellence.

Some of the programmes available for strings, woodwind, brass, and percussion students:

- 1-on-1 Instrumental Lessons
- Instrumental Masterclasses
- Group Workshops
- Ensemble Rehearsals
- Performance Opportunities
- Networking Opportunities

The Closing Gala has always stood as the crowning moment that marks the culmination of a week-long of collaborative music making throughout the festival. Also, RondoFest 2024 is organised in partnership with the Young Choral Academy.

Hence, this fifth edition in June will see a grander affair, as it is set to star a choir on top of our handpicked festival orchestra to deliver a dazzling performance of Beethoven's Symphony No. 9
"Choral" under the leadership of Tengku Irfan and Susanna Saw.

To say we are excited about the concert would be an understatement. Secure your tickets now!
