INTRODUCTION
The theme for this live music concert, entitled 'Poems for the World' is love. Love, in this context can be depicted as love to the Almighty, our nation, family and friends, and other human beings. The emphasis being that we all live in this world and the one thing we can all give to one another is LOVE.
Though the world today is filled with uncertainty, concern and anxiety to many of us, we should never stop seeking hope and upholding love and peace. It is not our intention to blame or criticize others, or find answers to problems that we face, but we want to convey our message that love and respect can bring us together and help one another through these difficult times.
With enchanting lyrics and fine rhythms that are composed into songs; simple words arranged into poems of love and peace; these two components are put together in a compelling and artistically entertaining fashion to demonstrate our feelings for all those we care about.
It is hoped that the content of this concert will evoke feelings of love and affection during it's brief duration and that the audience will leave, taking with them the inspiring messages this concert portrays.
Through this promising event, a substantial portion of proceeds from ticket sales will be dedicated under the auspices of Yayasan Pendidikan Cheras as a token of expression of love and care to those who need.
