Sensational Finale to A Journey Through Time IX with Carly Paoli
Kuala Lumpur, 27 November 2015
Starhill Gallery’s A Journey Through Time IX was brought to a close with a rousing performance by British singer Carly Paoli and renowned Italian tenor Alessandro Safina. Guests of the Tourism and Culture Gala Night: Watch and Jewellery of the Year Awards Presentation 2015 were treated to an amazing repertoire of songs.
The star of the evening Carly Paoli recently performed at the Carcalla for UNICEF concert in Rome, Italy with the legendary José Carreras and Andrea Bocelli. Alessandro Safina who also performed at Caracalla has achieved international acclaim by combining his operatic roots with modern-day pop music. Their powerful performance was the perfect finale to the 8-day event which was held from 20 to 27 November 2015.
A Journey Through Time IX featured a series of curated experiences with the participation from over 125 international watch, jewellery and lifestyle brands. The myriad of activities had much to offer the thousands of watch and jewellery enthusiasts, fashionistas and trend spotters who turned up at Starhill Gallery this year.
