Doha: Marsa Malaz Kempinski, The Pearl-Doha and Moving Young Artists (MYA) have partnered to create a platform to support local young talents in the pursuit of their musical dreams.
The hotel organised a 90-minute concert in its majestic Grand Lobby on Saturday, the first of many sessions, where eight young and aspiring artists performed in front of an excited audience.
MYA is an inspiring non-profit foundation that reaches out to sponsors, partners, organisations, peers and volunteers in Qatar to create opportunities for music to be the motor for individual and collective change and exchange.
Sonja Park and Joris Laenen, founders of MYA, said: “More than five years ago, music brought us to Qatar. Being professional musicians, we figured that wherever we go, we can make music happen. Music is the guiding force in our lives and we believe it can be for others too, for anyone. To make that happen, we founded MYA, supported by like-minded believers who wanted us to get into action. We engage others to share our vision and involve them to join our cause: Bringing music to the people who don’t have access to music, guiding and supporting young local talent and developing campaigns where art and culture are tools of expressing one’s self or connecting to the other.”
Wissam Suleiman, General Manager, Marsa Malaz Kempinski, said: “Our hotel is proud to partner with MYA and support the local arts scene and this noble cause through events that embrace the positive qualities of music, bringing vibrant young energy into our majestic lobby.”
The eight artists from Doha were: Hala Al Emadi (Qatar, piano); Mia Park Torchinsky (8, Korea/Russia/UK, piano); William McChesney (8, UK, piano); Nicole Ng (10, Singapore, piano); Tricia Ng (11, Singapore, violin); David Stankov (15, Hungary, French horn); Lizzie Dijkstra (17, South Africa, piano); and Ella Pyne (13, Ireland, piano). The next MYA concert will be held in October at Marsa Malaz Kempinski. Find out more about the exciting project at www.movingyoungartists.com.The Peninsula
