The musical 'From La Scala To Broadway & Back' by Wendy Yong (soprano), Eddy Chin (baritone) and Evelyn Hii (piano) left audiences in awe last Saturday night.

Some 100 people attended the Brunei Music Society (BMS) dinner concert, which was held at Vanda Restaurant, Orchid Garden Hotel.

Among those present were US Ambassador Mr. Gene Christy, the new chairman of the Brunei Music Society and Mr. Peter Foster, CEO of Royal Brunei Airlines as well as representatives of sponsors of the BMS.

In his welcoming speech, Mr. Gene Christy applauded his predecessor, Mr. Allaster Cox, the former Australian high commissioner for his dedication to the Brunei Music Society.

As Saturday night's event was the first concert for the year, the dinner served as an 'ice breaker', according to the vice chairman of BMS.

Other Brunei Music Society events scheduled to take place this year are Roman Rudnytsky (piano) on February 28, 'The Chambermaids (Wind Quintet)' on March 13 and a performance by Peter Korbel (guitar) on April 16.
