Rhythm of Spring by Chong Hwa KL Alumni Chinese Orchestra
Was invited by an alumnus to shoot this performance by the Chong Hwa Kuala Lumpur Alumni Chinese Orchestra at Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre, Sentul West.
Chong Hwa Kuala Lumpur Alumni Chinese Orchestra started in 1996 to provide an avenue for the alumni to continue to take part in a Chinese Orchestra even well after their graduation and a performance has become a yearly event to raise funds for the Orchestra to purchase and maintain instruments.

While it continued to rain outside, it was time for improvisation; the glass-wall, the metal-sheathed columns, the benches, the trees and even the shadows cast by the nasty down-lights were used. Conditions were certainly not ideal.
Luckily, we did come home with a couple of shots that we both liked.
p.s. Thank you to MMC for inspiring me on this series. Continue reading
