“The three of us were approached by the orchestra band to hold the concert.

“Of course I was truly nervous because it is the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra we are talking about here, one of the most grandeur orchestra bands to ever grace this nation.

“However, I am very excited, and look forward to the concert,” she said after the filming of the finale episode of Fir and Afick Tonight Show at Town Hall TVS, Cityone Mega Mall here on Friday (Aug 2).

“We have not started any preparation yet, but the song that I, Velvet and Alena will perform would be the recent one titled “War Cry”.

“Basically, this is the first time I will be singing the song alongside the two of them ever since its release back in January of this year,” she added.

In the meantime, alongside War Cry, Marsha will also be performing five of her songs alongside Velvet

“And that is from my side, and Alena will perform her own songs.

“Altogether the three of us will perform more than 10 songs,” she said.

As to whether she is working on any musical project, Marsha said that right now, she is working on her compilation album first.

“It is almost completed, it is just that I need to settle on one more recording for the compilation album.

“The compilation album would be around 12 songs, then I will work on my long overdue studio album.

“For the studio album, I am not sure yet how many songs I will record, but I want more than five if possible. And of course, although listeners and fans know me for my ballads, I am actually open to any sort of genre, as long as it is good,” she added.
