Date & Time: Saturday, August 3rd, 2024, 8.00PM
Venue: The Grand Ballroom, WEIL Hotel, Ipoh.
We’re back! … After a hiatus of six years from the stage, Ipoh Mali Theatre, in collaboration with PAFID, to proudly presents the charity gala concert, ‘TRY TO REMEMBER’.
This year,
we return with a fervent mission: to share and celebrate with you a rich legacy
of musical theatre in honour of the late Mr. Chin Yoong Kim, our maestro
extraordinaire, who was also a treasured mentor to many, a beloved and esteemed
school teacher, and a generous and caring soul to his associates, friends and
family.
Our cast
brings together Ipoh-born-and-bred talents from across three generations whose lives
were touched by this exceptional man. They have starred in acclaimed musical productions
staged by the ACS Music & Drama Society, the Perak Society of Performing Arts
(PSPA) and Ipoh Mali Theatre from the 1960s up to the present day.
‘TRY TO
REMEMBER’ would be our 2nd collaborative effort with PAFID, the first one being
in 2018, titled ‘CHRISTMAS ON BROADWAY’. In 2016, the inaugural musical
performance of Ipoh Mali Theatre, ‘MUSIC, WE THANK YOU’, was staged at WEIL
Hotel, in aid of the needy pupils of ACS Ipoh. Yoong Kim was actively involved
in both earlier concerts.
In December
2022, Yoong Kim was honoured in the farewell segment of the Boh Cameronian
Awards as one of the late musical greats who had contributed to the music scene
of Malaysia for the past 50 years.
Yet his life
was lived in honest simplicity, inspired by the words of the Quaker missionary,
Etiennne de Grellet:-‘I shall pass this way but once; any good that I can do or
any kindness I can show to anyhuman being; let me do it now. Let me not defer
nor neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.’
‘TRY TO REMEMBER’ is open to the public with admission by donation only in the amounts of RM200, RM300, and RM500 for VIP Patrons. Your contributions will directly benefit our cause PAFID .
