A WHISPER OF SOUL Comes to Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre

The Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre will host a musical performance titled A Whisper of Soul: A Reflection of Life’s Journey on May 17 and 18, 2025, at Pentas 2, klpac, located in Sentul Park, Kuala Lumpur.

This intimate three-part concert will feature the renowned soprano Dr. Ang Mei Foong, accompanied by The klpac Orchestra under the baton of Maestro Lee Kok Leong. The performance promises to take the audience on a reflective journey through the various stages of life, blending classical and contemporary elements to create an emotionally resonant experience. 

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.
