Since 2002, the Young KL Singers (YKLS) have been delighting audiences with performances that are anything but your typical choir show. This September, they return with A Sky Full of Stars with Hands in My Pocket, a celebration of heartbreak, beauty, and joy through the music of Alanis Morissette and Coldplay. We speak to YKLS's Cheryl Ong, the show's director and a soprano, and Kathleen Roshene, also a soprano and sectional leader, to share what makes this performance so special.

A Sky Full of Stars with Hands in My Pocket

Into Still Life is a performance that invites us to slow our pace and notice the quiet relationships between stillness and movement. It looks at how tension, balance, and presence shape our experience of the world. We hear more from the artists behind it, Aiwei Foo and Kent Lee, from the Shaman Tearoom.

 Into Still Life

Audiovisual art can sound a little mysterious if you’ve never encountered it, but TEKKA wants to change that. The festival is making its first appearance in Kuala Lumpur with performances, workshops, and conversations that invite everyone to explore how sound and visuals can interact. Here to guide us through what TEKKA is trying to spark are its Founder and Creative Director, Wee Jia Foong, and Visual Designer and Artist, Syed Muhammad.

TEKKA - Audiovisual Festival

Taman Melawati is about to come alive with a very special community festival, one that brings together arts, environment, youth, and neighbourhood spirit. It’s called the Jalinan x Little River Festival 2025, and it’s the first time two grassroots movements are joining forces: Jalinan, a monthly arts and community programme centred on Jalan Negara Kita; and the Little River Festival, a project rooted in nearly eight years of weekly river restoration work along the Klang River. This year’s theme, “From the River to the Streets,” connects Melawati’s recent flooding with the way our everyday behaviour — from waste to development — shapes the health of our rivers and our neighbourhoods. The festival, which is the first Gombak Hulu Langat Geopark Community event organised and led by the community, aims to bring that story to life through workshops, exhibitions, and youth-led activities all across the community. Joining us to share more are Nazura Rahime, who is the co-founder of Jalan Negara Kita, and Kennedy Michael, the founder of Community Action Nexus and Alliance of River Three.
