RANGOON — The National Theater in Rangoon was packed to overflowing on Saturday evening for a free debut performance from the Orchestra for Myanmar, the culmination of a mentoring program for young musicians under the direction of the founder and director of Live4music, Sebastian See-Schierenberg.
Live4Music is a UK-based, musically focused charity that strives to bring practical knowledge and inspiration to aspiring young musicians.
With sponsorship and support from the KT Wong Foundation, which focuses on building links between Asia and Western cultural bases, and the British Council and Goethe Society, See-Schierenberg brought together both local and international artists to collaborate on the project.
The evening featured both individual artists and combined performances and was very well received by a standing-room-only audience.
