MASiF 2011 - Music, Arts, Style, International Festival @ KLCC, Kuala Lumpur (15 - 17/9/11)
Bigger, Better, Bolder... and providing a strong, tangible platform for talented Malaysians to Shine.
Rising Stars are important for us all, giving us something to personally aspire to. But rising stars don’t happen overnight; they need nurturing and support. Zang Toi started off small, and with mentoring and encouragement, developed into the household name that he is today. It is in the same spirit that we offer the platform which is MASiF, a facilitator to showcase to Malaysia and the world, the talent that is currently available in Malaysia.
The Music, Arts and Style International Festival (MASiF ) is a unique event specially crafted for a historical day i.e. Malaysia Day, to commemorate the richness of music, arts and style (fashion) diversities in Malaysia. The uniqueness of MASiF is its concept that transcends and synchronises three genres of art (fine arts, performing arts and fashion), fused together into a masterpiece on one stage over a period of 3 days. Highlighting Malaysia’s very own talented and successful creative community, MASiF also provides a platform for new and emerging talent to showcase to Malaysians (and the world) their gift, allowing them to shine amongst the best and brightest our country has to offer.
