We were very honored to have our guest of honor, Dato Paduka Abdul Kadir Bin Haji Sheikh Fadzir, Minister of Culture, Arts and Tourism of Malaysia for the opening ceremony for the festival. During the opening ceremony of the festival, one of the groups was a 100 member-strong Chinese orchestra under the baton of renown Maestro Liu De Hai.
During the festival, we had competitions, master classes, cultural performances and symposium for all the overseas masters whom were invited to the festival.
The closing ceremony included performances and prize giving by Mr Goh Choon Kang (former MP for Singapore) for all the participating groups of competition. A farewell reception at the grand ballroom to exchange contacts and bid farewell to each other was a memorable moment for all.
The whole event was very encouraging, and we definitely look forward to the next festival in the near future.
