The Operafest Children’s Choir, founded by Kam in 1986, has staged a series of well-received performances in the United States Argentina, India, Australia, Macedonia, Greece, Spain, Britain, Netherlands, South Africa and China.
Through a great performance in 1991, the choir won second prize at the Llangollen International Eisteddfod in Wales with its presentation of Purcell’s Sound the Trumpet.
It was then placed third (in the light music category) at the Koorfestival of Arnheim, the Netherlands, a choir Olympics held every four years.
Even though the Operafest keeps a low profile in the local music scene, it is popular in the international arena. It was also granted the honour of singing alongside the Vienna Boys’ Choir twice.
Kam said the violence humans inflicted on animals went unoticed and that teaching children to be kind to pets through music was the sole purpose of Operafest.
PJ Live Arts excutive director Teri Choong said: “We must encourage our children to learn arts and music which help to enhance their talents and build a cultured, well-rounded younger generation”.
The concert hopes to raise at least RM20,000 through donations and this will be channelled to the Animal Sanctuary in Taiping and the Furry Friends Farm.
Tickets to the concert is priced at a minimum donation of RM30.
