National Symphony Orchestra Goes Tarakucha!

What happens when you put a retro-glam big band and a full symphony orchestra on the same stage? You get a musical explosion called Tarakucha! The Lambang Sari Series is back with more glitter, groove, and glamour, powered by Malaysia’s very own Terrer-Menerer Retro-Glam Big Band, and lifted by the National Symphony Orchestra. And of course, leading the charge are two dazzling voices - the suave Sean Ghazi and the sensational Ida Mariana.
