Hard To Get Funding

Pun Kai Loon, the Artistic Director of Dama Orchestra, talks about the challenges running the performing group - one being getting funding with hardly any support from the government unlike in other countries. The group relies on ticket sales and sponsorship from loyal corporations like HSBC and Selangor Properties.

 

"Since its inception, the Dama Orchestra has consistently staged enthralling performances. Dama Orchestra Artistic Director Pun Kai Loon relates how the orchestra stays relevant and fresh in the entertainment circuit amidst a multitude of entertainment genres; weaving in elements like Cirque du Soleil and various sources of creative input."
