Kota Kinabalu Symphony Orchestra to perform at Tip of Borneo on April 23

KOTA KINABALU: The Kota Kinabalu Symphony Orchestra (KKSO) will be performing at the Tip of Borneo, Tanjung Simpang Mengayau on April 23.

The inaugural event will feature Sabah’s first and only orchestra serenading an audience against the dramatic sunset backdrop on the northern-most tip of Borneo.

The Tip of Borneo is one of the recent additions to Sabah’s growing list of attractions, rich in history and natural beauty.

Tanjung Simpang Mengayau derives from the original Rungus name “Tanjung Sampang Mangazo”.

During the set symphony, audience will get to enjoy classic favourites such as ‘Waves of Danube’, ‘Fragrance of the Night’, ‘Water Music Suite II’, P Ramlee’s ‘Hamida’ and the light-hearted ‘Burung Kakak Tua’ among many others.

The orchestra formed less than a year ago, comprises 100 members with its youngest musician being nine.

Instead of performing in the standard enclosed music hall, the KKSO is out to prove that sometimes performing in the most unconventional of venues will be an unforgettable experience particularly for the audience. The event is by invitation only.
