「沈炳光教授声乐作品专场演唱会」筹委会主席邝国扬(右)赠送纪念品予沙华堂总会长拿督陈友仁。

 

(亚洲时报讯)著名作曲家沈炳光教授的作品受到国内外重视与推崇﹐数十年来的代表性佳作不胜枚举﹔沙巴中华大会堂有意邀请沈教授为该会创作会歌﹐并有信心他能创作出具代表性的作品。

    沙华堂总会长拿督斯里邦里玛陈友仁透露﹐该会成立十多年来﹐多次邀请相关人士创作会歌﹐但是作品都不太满意。

    “大会堂的会歌一定要能了代表沙巴州多元民族﹐又要描述大会堂的种种﹐我们相信沈炳光教授能够创出令人满意的作品。”他说于前晚在此间举行的“沈炳光教授声乐作品专场演唱会”上﹐如是公开邀请沈教授。

    他指出﹐沙华堂向来大力提倡中华文化﹐包括歌唱艺术﹐确保能够向外人展示沙巴人能唱的本事﹐并且推广音乐的美妙。 另外﹐陈友仁也再次宣布沙华堂将于2011年承办全国文化节﹐并督促本地声乐界同仁努力练习﹐届时极力为沙巴州争光。

    以主礼嘉宾身份出席演唱会的沙华堂署理会长拿督郑晋卓致词时认为﹐世界上最伟大的力量是“爱”﹐其次是“音乐”。

    “我们从著名歌手的演唱会可看出﹐出席人数绝非任何政治集会可比较﹔以最近去世的迈克杰逊为例﹐送殡人数达百万人﹐我们不容易找到一位世界级伟人与他相比。”他说。

    早年曾向沈炳光教授学习音乐的郑晋卓表示﹐沈教授音乐造诣高深﹐闻名亚洲﹑东南亚和海峡两岸三地﹐今天能把其精华作品汇集成册﹐让乐坛后进﹐能够景仰和传承亦属一大盛事。

    大会主席林金凤老师在会上感谢参与演出的朝阳合唱团﹑亚庇福建会馆爱乐合唱团﹑马来西亚留台联总合唱团﹑吉隆坡夏日吟合唱团﹑加雅师范学院合唱团﹑男高音刘国耀﹑女高音黄伟君和黄心仪﹑以及指挥邓嘉仪老师的通力合作﹐让这场东西马台联合演出的演唱会顺利举行﹐也建立起音乐的桥梁。 前晚出席的嘉宾计有拿督沈清玉﹑拿督张丹华社长﹑拿督曹德安﹑拿督叶伯良﹑拿督邱陶正等。(更多图文刊于A24版)
