This intimate and personal three-part concert brings you through the life of multi-award winning soprano, Dr. Ang Mei Foong, with The klpac Orchestra under the baton of Maestro Lee Kok Leong. It traces her years training in Taiwan, Rome and Australia before establishing herself in Malaysia, pursuing her PhD and becoming a passionate music educator and performer.
The First Movement: Fate captures the youthful uncertainty and anticipation of the future. It is almost like a letter to her 18 year old self, a time mixed with dreams and doubts, driven by passion and determination. In this movement, Dr. Ang brings to life three of Giuseppe Verdi’s works including La forza del destino or The Force of Destiny.
It then moves on to the Second Movement: Self Reflection which features pieces like Jules Massenet’s Meditation and other works by Antonin Dvořák, Robert Stolz and Francesco Cilea. It marks the period that sees her charting her way as an artist not only in pursuit of technical excellence but her artistic identity.
The Third Movement: Acceptance reflects the realisation that life, like art, is a continuous cycle of struggle, transformation and renewal. Richard Strauss’ Vier Letzte Lieder embodies this journey with a profound sense of serenity.
Dr. Ang’s voice, described as mellow and soothing, has “transported the audiences into the emotional axis of the opera” (Richard Chua of Sin Chew Daily). In 2018, she was bestowed the “Ordine della Stella D'Italia, l'onorificenza Cavaliere” (The Order of Star of Italy) and the Golden Medal Award from the Berliner International Music Competition. She bagged Best Solo Performance (Vocal) award in the 16th BOH Cameron Arts Awards 2019.
