GEORGE TOWN, August 6 – The Majestic Theatre comes alive this August 5 and 6 with The Malaysian Real Book: Page to Performance, a powerful tribute to Malaysia’s rich musical heritage and contemporary jazz voices.
Presented as part of George Town Festival 2025, this 120-minute concert features powerhouse vocalists Alwagera and May Mow, backed by the award-winning WVC Jazz Sextet. Audiences can expect soaring vocals, jazz classics, and fresh original compositions performed in Malay, Chinese, and English.
