“UMW Toyota Motor in collaboration with Toyota Motor Corporation is committed to enriching communities through gross proceeds raised through Toyota Classics, which has brought varieties of orchestras from all over the world for the past 30 years to delight the South East Asia and Malaysian audience including Toyota customers,“ said Akio Takeyama, the Deputy Chairman of UMW Toyota Motor.
The concert will be held on 29 October performed by London Chamber Orchestra, under the baton of conductor - Christopher Warren Green and soloist – Lucienne Ranaudin Vary. The orchestra is also the longest established professional chamber orchestra in the United Kingdom.
“We are indeed proud to support our community projects that has an impact on enhancing the lives of the people. UMW Toyota Motor thus far has funded approximately RM 9 million in support of 70 social, environment and charity organizations. We will continue this annual event to bring to Malaysia the best in classical music while raising funds for worthy programs,” said Mr. Ravindran K., President of UMW Toyota Motor.
With a tagline of “Music that Moves Lives”, the Toyota Classics’ philosophy is fueled by a passion for constant innovation and discovery, hoping to touch lives far beyond the stage through environment and youth causes.
Part of the proceeds from the Toyota Classic event this year will be used to rehabilitate and restore degraded mangrove areas in Sulaman, Tuaran. The efforts to plant a total of 5,000 mangrove trees to conserve the shore lines will be carried out in collaboration with Sabah Wetlands Conservation Society and will involve about 13,000 students from neighbouring schools, local university as well as community.
