Bio
Formed in 2006, the SMK Seksyen 4 Bandar Kinrara's Wind Orchestra marked its humble beginning with a group of students gathering together, to share a common passion for music. Until today, the wind orchestra has matured and now has more than 100 members.
This wind orchestra was the brain child of our ex-headmistress, Mrs. Tan Wat Eng, who retired at the year of 2008. The Wind Orchestra was established with the objective of:
♪ To widen the musical knowledge.
♫ To uphold the standards of stage performance.
♪ To build and see personal developments for the young and the mature music enthusiasts.
In order to achieve the objectives mentioned previously, an instructor who can withhold responsibilities and with potential is required. Mr. Siow Khai Yi and Mr Samuel Wong has been this wind orchestra's instructor since the year of 2007 and 2009.
Mr. Siow Khai Yi believes that when a person plays a single musical instrument, the scope of music, interpretation and appreciation is good but only limited to one self and therefore, narrowed. But when people of the same common interest gather to produce quality music, the area of attempting larger repertoire of music, excellences and contribution will be broadened and many good and challenging works could only be played as a group of people with the same common goal.
The repertoire of music which the Wind Orchestra performs include a myriad of master pieces ranging from the classical symphonies, concertos and also many of the current popular music.
Because of the openness and encouragements of the Wind Orchestra, young music talents has had the opportunity to perform as a soloist of beautiful and challenging pieces. Therefore, the Wind Orchestra does serve as a platform to many musicians not only to have the opportunity to play music as a group; but also to help to build and sharpen a musician's discipline in many areas of music.
