The Opening Concert: Purnama Over Pangkor
Purnama – a bright full moon – takes its inspiration from the music and songs of a different age: the era of Merdeka, when a new country was in the making. The lyrics of that time were beautiful, the sentiments hopeful, and the melodies grew out of the rich soil of this land. With all their eccentricities, foibles and imperfections, people lived together and shared a common musical language. And the image of a new moon seems somehow to capture the spirit of those times.
Day (2) Concert: Moon Dance with The Shang Sisters
One is fun, Two is merry, THREE is sublime.
The Shang Sisters’ core members are Janet Lee, Winnie Ho, and Mian Tan. All of them are credible performers on their own, each with more than ten years of performance experience.
The Closing Charity Concert: Sunset/Moon Rise
The Moon is timeless, the Moon is universal, so are the songs that encapsulated the many emotions we shared as human beings: the Moon and music bring us together in Pangkor island. Come enjoy the food, the music, the scenery, and being together from Sunset to Moon Rise.
