THE entire stretch of Jalan Bukit Bintang was filled to the brim as thousands of music lovers and fans eagerly awaited the celebrity performance of legendary Grammy Award winner Julio Iglesias.
This one-night only affair, which took place during YTL Corporation Berhad’s Concert of Celebration held on Dec 1, saw the Latin legend captivating concert-goers as he wove his magic with 20 over songs including his best hits such as To All The Girls I’ve Loved Before, Crazy and Can’t Help Falling In Love.
The festivities of this year’s concert was made more joyous as it was graced by guests of honour Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin and Raja Permaisuri Agong Tuanku Nur Zahirah.

They were joined by hosts YTL Corporation Bhd group executive Tan Sri Yeoh Tiong Lay, YTL Corporation managing director Tan Sri Francis Yeoh and other notable dignitaries and honourable guests.
The fourth concert held at Bintang Walk in YTL’s Concert of Celebration series, this exclusive one-night affair was presented to all Malaysians as part of its celebrations for the re-launch of Starhill Gallery.
This dedicated gallery of luxury experiences was recently refurbished to present a new iconic façade that symbolises its worldwide appeal and contribution to Kuala Lumpur’s transformation as a world-class city.
Francis said the Concert of Celebration was particularly special because the company was celebrating a milestone in Starhill Gallery’s development.
“The concert will cast light on the impressive new architectural façade of Starhill Gallery and not least, on the many stylish and globally renowned luxury fashion brands that are now being housed exclusively within.”
A real treat: Guests enjoying the Julio Iglesias concert. The aforementioned façade is an architectural masterpiece built using cutting edge glass technology and lightweight steel. The iconic new look was brought to life by a team of famous architects and designers from Malaysia, Singapore, Japan, America, France, Italy, England and Germany.
“We are very excited that with this concert, we can literally celebrate Starhill Gallery’s innovative transformation with everyone. This will be our ‘Big Thank You!’, especially to all associated with Bukit Bintang, for the many years of kind support and good will shown to YTL,” added Francis.
An established and ardent supporter of the arts, YTL has presented some of the most renowned artistes in the world during their Concert of Celebration series.
This includes the memorable and last ever Three Tenors Concert at World Heritage City, Bath, back in 2003 and popular tenor Russell Watson’s performance in Sentul Park, Kuala Lumpur in 2005.
Last year, Andrea Bocelli thrilled an audience in Singapore’s Botanic Gardens alongside Slovenian soprano Sabina Cvilak, world-renowned flautist Andrea Griminelli and popular Australian singer Delta Goodrem.
