The Municipal Orchestra The MO is an eighty member orchestra that was formed in 1988. It was first suggested by a businessman Mr. Soon.       Mr. Soon felt that it was about time that the district had a formal orchestra. Together with well-known celebrities, he helped raise the funds and started the orchestra. The orchestra is fully committed to its mission of bringing classical music to the general public. It was MO's conductor, who started the "Classics for Kids" concert. The conductor is a graduate of the London School of Music and is a champion of classical music.

What our fans have to say: "I simply adore the MO conductor who is simply masterful! The way he conducts the orchestra is a joy to behold! Thanks Mom and Dad for taking me!" Bermard Lee (12 years old) "The MO musicians are superbly talented and show a real desire to want to share good music with the audience. My two children simply lapped it up." Mr. Peter Lim (a dedicated music lover)
