This open-air concert is open to the public. Admission to this event is absolutely free of charge. Therefore, it is made possible through the generous contributions of many parties. First of all, all musicians have been rehearsing tirelessly contributing time and effort for weeks for the love of music to perform on the evening without a single cent. Indeed, all musicians of the Penang Philharmonic are volunteers who play music merely for the love of it. Consistent with the mission of the Penang Philharmonic, all musicians only have one goal and that is to present wonderful music for Penang.
Some 1,500 chairs will be placed on the grounds for seating purposes; others can enjoy the concert seated on the ground or standing. However, due to the set up above, parking is not allowed in the campus ground on Saturday.
