Penang Island Chorus is the successor of The Actors Studio Chorus, now under new leadership following the retirement of its conductor Martin Rutherford and the closure of its home, penangpac. Directed now by Dan Guerrard and Annie Chow, the Penang Island Chorus is presenting this first of three planned annual concerts, Gloria! Later this year will follow a concert of show tunes in September, and a Christmas concert in December. The choir welcomes knew members. Rehearsals are on Monday evenings. The ability to read music is not essential.
Musica Sinfonietta was formed in 2010 following the success of the charity concert “Music Sends A Helping Hand” which raised funds for the Partners Against Poverty Fund in the state of Penang. This non-governmental organization aims to promote music-making and the arts as a whole. At the same time, it increases the options as well as opportunities for musicians and artistes to promote their skills and expertise with various organizations in the state of Penang and Malaysia. Musicians and artistes are all welcome to join us.
