OVER 400 people took a stroll down memory lane where they were treated to the songs of the late Taiwanese songbird Teresa Teng, during a charity concert earlier this month.
Themed “The Jazzy Sounds of Teresa Teng,” the audience was mesmerised by Astro Talent Quest 2000 winner Winne Ho and her rendition of Teng’s songs in contemporary jazz style.
Organised by Andaman Property Management Sdn Bhd (Andaman Group), the concert raised RM100,000 for SMJK Sam Tet and John Moh Education Foundation.
Contemporary jazz: Ho in a duet with jazz guitarist extraordinaire, Roger Wang. Andaman Group executive chairman Datuk Patrick Teoh said: “Sponsoring the concert is a good opportunity for me to contribute to my alma mater, Sam Tet School.”
Besides raising Sam Tet School’s profile, the concert also paid tribute to Rev Brother John Moh, who served the school from 1959 to 1992.
Come Nov 25, the group will be organising another concert entitled “In the Mood for Love” at Syuen Hotel at 8pm.
Featuring the same new genre of Chinese jazz music as the first concert, playing perennial favourites in contemporary jazz style, it will appeal to both Chinese- and English-speaking audiences of all ages.
All funds collected will be shared by SMJK Sam Tet and the John Moh foundation. The money will be used for school maintenance, upgrading of facilities, school activities and to provide aid to needy students.
Tickets are now available at Friendly Records in Kinta City shopping centre. For details, call Leslie (012-208 3790) or Man (016-628 8819).
