CONCERT HIGHLIGHT
"Voices of Hope" by Music for People is an upcoming classical concert that promises to transport audiences into the rich world of 19th-century romanticism through the masterful compositions of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy and Antonín Dvořák. With a symphony orchestra, a hundred-member choir, and expert direction by Dr. Audrey Chung, this event marks Music for People's 5th Anniversary, as well as their first live concert since the pandemic. It aims to usher in the New Year with joy and positivity, using the power of music to inspire and uplift.
Music For People's past performance on Dvořák's Mass in D was recognized as one of the very best renditions of Dvořák's original text, with a large choir and orchestral accompaniment. For "Voices of Hope”, you can expect the same immersive experience with the hundred-member choir and prominent Asian vocalists, including Soprano Dr. Jessica Chen, Mezzo-Soprano Anna Koor and Tenor Peter Chung and the MFP Festival Orchestra.
"Voices of Hope" is more than a concert; it's a celebration of music's enduring power to extends its reach beyond the concert hall. It engages amateur and professional musicians from the community and the region and supports music education for the underprivileged.

CONCERT HIGHLIGHT
DVOŘÁK MASS IN D MAJOR, OP 86
WITH HIS OWN LITTLE-KNOWN VERSION OF THE SUNG TEXT
To celebrate the establishment of MUSIC FOR PEOPLE as Singapore’s first international non-profit music charity organization, a performance of Dvořák’s Mass in D will be brought to you for our inaugural concert this October. This showcase is truly a rarity as it will stay true to Dvořák’s own distinctive version of the sung text, which is found in all his original manuscripts but not in any of the commonly-used editions.
Conducted by MFP Artistic Director and Founder, Dr. Audrey Chung, with a choir of seventy voices from China, Hong Kong SAR, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, and the U.S.A., as well as a full festival orchestra.
Come and be the first to hear this authentic version of Dvořák’s Mass LIVE in Singapore!
CELLO CONCERTO IN B MINOR, OP. 104
Dvořák’s cello concerto in B minor is the most often performed cello concerto in the world. Korean-American solo cellist, Robert Choi, will be presenting his very own rendition of this masterpiece, bringing it to life with his diverse and profound interpretation.
The original manuscript of the orchestra version of Dvořák Mass in D Major is being housed by the British Library. The upcoming concert in Singapore would be the Asia Premier of the original manuscript outside of the Czech Republic.
