About

Led by Tengku Irfan, one of Malaysia’s most compelling musical voices, this programme offers a rare window into the artistic and technical demands of conducting a monumental work at scale. Observe how vision is translated into sound — from shaping musical ideas and directing large forces, to navigating the complexities of orchestra, choir, and soloists in real time.

Follow the journey from first rehearsal to performance, gaining behind-the-scenes insight into interpretation, communication, and leadership at the highest level.

Designed for aspiring conductors, musicians, and those seeking a deeper understanding of the craft, this is an opportunity to learn not by distance, but by proximity — to witness the discipline, precision, and artistry required to bring Mahler’s Symphony No. 2 to life.

Not from the audience — but from within.

* no podium time guarantee.
