The tribute concert aims to showcase the breadth of Alfonso Soliano's musical contributions, described by conductor Ahmad Muriz Che Rose as a foundational figure in Malaysian symphonic music.

The Solianos band, including Isabella on vocals, Don Alfonso on bass, Condrado on flugelhorn/trumpet, Tristano on piano/vocals, Eddie Kismulardy on alto saxophone, and Arthur Kam on drums, will perform alongside the MPO.
Featured Compositions Include Iconic Pieces

Among the works slated for performance are Dawn to Darkness, Tunas Kasih, and selections from the Tiga Trombone album. Additionally, audiences can expect to hear pieces such as Ku Kan Kembali, Airmata Berderai, Rindulah Rindu, Ku Puja Alam, Kasih Sayang, Blues for Bangkok, East to West, and Pacita Blues. These compositions represent a portion of the celebrated repertoire of Alfonso Soliano, who is widely regarded as the Father of Modern Malay Music.
