31/5/2015 - An event with ADROWS

Hi lovely people!

Yesterday, we performed at Grand Hyatt Hotel in Kuala Lumpur for a company event called ADROWS.

The performance last night was slightly different where we played a String Duo setting instead of a String Quartet.  This means, only two of us performed.  They were Sophia on the cello, and Wani on the violin.

They performed three songs of duet between Violin and Cello at the start of the event to officially kick-off the ceremony.

The three songs that they played were:

- O Sole Mio

- Por Una Cabeza

- Canon in D

It was a short yet pleasant performance.  Also, it was an honour to perform as the opening performance for such prestigious event.

Thank you ADROWS for allowing us to be part of your event, even if it was only two of our members.

24/5/2015 - An Evening with MARA Graduates

Hi!

Yesterday, on May 24th, we performed for Majlis Engagement Bersama Graduan Cemerlang Tajaan MARA at Premiera Hotel, Kuala Lumpur.

We played at the beginning of the ceremony while the graduates and the VIPs were having their dinner.  We performed for 30 minutes with music including pieces such as Sempurna (Andra & The Backbone), Penglipur Lara (Hazama), and Just The Way You Are (Bruno Mars).

It was such a lovely event, and we are all very grateful that MARA let us be part of their event.

Also, we also would like to thank Stephen Tseu, who played the cello on behalf of Sophia last night.

Thank you very much!

That is all for now, until next time.

24/4/2015 - Yenni's Graduation Recital.

Hi folks!

We know it has been awhile since we last updated.

And todays comes almost a month too late to.

Last month, which is April 24th to be specific, we performed for a Graduation Recital in UCSI of a Composition Major student.

It was definitely something different than what we normally do, and it was definitely exciting to be playing some original compositions.

We played a total of 10 original compositions, and it was a big ensemble with choirs, band, and some traditional instrument as well.

We would like to extend our congratulations to Yenni for completing her studies at UCSI and also for the success of her Graduation Recital.

We would also like to extend our gratitude for having us to be part of your big day.

This time, we managed to get videos of the performance that day, so, a little treat for you readers out there...

The first one is a song entitled Nankahen No Sekai, you can see us for strings players in the middle of the stage :)

The next one is a video comprising of two songs, the first one you will hear is called Arcadia Market and another one is called Ran:

We hope you enjoy the videos, and hopefully we will have the opportunity to play more original compositions in the future.

Last but not least, thank you to Aizat, for playing the viola on behalf of Ayeshah :)

Thanks for reading.

Until next time, toodles~

14/2/2015 - Risberg & Rhema's Big Day ^_^

Hello people!  It was Valentine's Day yesterday.

For some people, it was an even more important day.  Like a couple named Risberg and Rhema for example, they got married yesterday.

in the morning at the Saint Peter's Church, Bangsar

We played for two of their ceremonies, the wedding ceremony at the church in Bangsar, as well as the wedding reception at Civic Centre, Petaling Jaya.

During the church ceremony, in the morning, we played for the walk-in of the bridal party, where we played Canon in D.  Then, we played for the walk-in of the bride and her father, where we played Wagner's Wedding March.  After the whole ceremony was over, and they were officially married, we played the Mendelssohn's Wedding March as they walked out.  We must say, it was just like in those movies with all these classic wedding songs.

at the wedding reception, Civic Hall, Petaling Jaya

Our performance this time was slightly different, it is different because out of four of us, only Wani, the first violinist can play.  At first we wondered if we should carry on with this as a Strings Attached gig at all.  However, Risberg and Rhema credited the performance to Strings Attached, which means all three wonderful musicians that played yesterday were playing on behalf of Strings Attached.

For that, we were very grateful, and appreciate their time very much.

Thank you to Nasirah who played the 2nd violin on behalf of Po Ann.

Thank you to Joanne who played the viola on behalf of Ayeshah.

Thank you Ershad who played the cello on behalf of Sophia.

Last but not least, thank you to the newly weds for putting their trust in us to perform for their big day.

Congratulations to you, and may this be the start of your happily ever after.

Thank you to the three wonderful musicians who played on behalf of Strings Attached
