Enjoy ‘Holly Jolly Holidays’ with the Philharmonic Society of Selangor

PETALING JAYA: There’s something magical about the beautiful harmonies of a Christmas choir. Listening to songs of the season, performed by human voices singing as one, can bring joy to the heart.

This year, the Philharmonic Society of Selangor invites everyone to enjoy a heart-warming and foot-tapping celebration of Yuletide music, with their show “Holly Jolly Holidays: Songs for the Season Charity Concert”.

About the Philharmonic Society of Selangor

Established in 1958, the Philharmonic Society of Selangor – better known as “the Phil” – is the oldest performing-arts society in Malaysia. Its members are Malaysians from all walks of life, united by a love of music and singing.

About the Charity Concert

Over the past six decades, proceeds from its productions have been donated to various charitable organisations around the country. This year, the Christmas concert is aimed at raising funds for the National Autism Society of Malaysia (Nasom).

The Lineup

“Holly Jolly Holidays” will see an almost 70-person-strong choir perform festive favourites accompanied by a live band, with dance stylings by the Sayang Dancers, choreographed by Farah Sulaiman.

Highlights of the Show

Expect Christmas bangers such as “All that Holiday Stuff”, “Sleigh Ride”, “Midwinter Snow”, “Nutcracker Jingles”, and “Welcome Now the Holidays”. Two shows (Friday at 8pm and Saturday at 3pm) will also feature the Nasom Maestros as the opening act.

One musical number to look forward to is the “Jolly Jingling Carol Medley”, a lively mix of evergreen holiday favourites including “Here We Come A-Caroling”, “Jingle Bells”, “Deck The Halls”, and “We Wish You A Merry Christmas”.

Another concert highlight is “Sing”, a stirring pop anthem by composer Andrew Lloyd Webber and singer-songwriter Gary Barlow, which explores themes of togetherness and hope.

Koh Tian Yi Conducting the Choir

Koh Tian Yi will be conducting the choir during the show.

Fundraising for Nasom

Philharmonic Society of Selangor chairperson Brenda James hopes that everyone who attends the show will leave with a warm heart, knowing they have contributed to a meaningful cause by supporting Nasom.
