It all started with a group of music gigs who were always facinating about chinese musical art. Wong Mei Juan, who was a student from FIST faculty accompanied by few of her other members initiate the idea of providing a platform for former chinese orchestra members who was once an orchestra member from their respective secondary school to join and to perform infront of the public. Hence, as the chance for constantly funding and performance opportunity, the group join ventured with UMP Chinese Cultural Council.

The early motto of the club is only to provide performing stage for those who owns at least an instrument. However, for most occasion and music demands, the group has forced to inplement more colour of music element involving in increasing the varieties of musical instruments. The following year, a genorous NGO from Kuantan, Pahang named He Sheng Music Society (和声音乐协会) willing to provide full support by lending their instruments for our students for practice and performance. This enhances the overall quality of the musical group as well as attracting more people toward joining into the group due to the interest in learning musical instruments such as Guzheng, Erhu, Pipa, Dizi and Zhong Ruan. The supportive act has continued till date and will keep on maintaining the good relationship.

As one of the iconic events in UMP, UMP Winter Solstice Dinner is considered a compulsory event for UMPCO to join and perform. Each year, the quality of performances improve tremendously. The group starts to venture into different music genres. Chinese orchestra music was always labeled a ancient music or Jay Chow music. From 2018, the former president, Lee Jian Rong has experimented a variety of music genres covering both pop and jazz, chinese and english musics. The songs we performed including: "Counting stars", "五月天-Medley", "小苹果" and many more. We even works with other art form such as UMP western orchestra and UMP chinese dance for the most recent artworks in 2018 and 2019 respectively.

Music embed more than everthing in the universe. For a professional musician, we never draw a border in between chinese and cultural orchestra. In 2018, we succeeded for a cultural clash between chinese and western orchestra in a Winter Soltice Dinner performance. Even though, it was difficult during the arrangement of music and playing of each parts. We manage to blend these two cultures for the sake of the musical ejoyment of the people. Besides that, in 2019, we also perform with Gamelan with the song entitled: "Ali, Ah Kau dan Muthu".

Due to covid-19, the pandemic has severely affected the music industry especially in orchestration music. Today we are bringing music learning into the internet. Now everyone is accessible to music through the power of technology. Even though, the feeling doesn't seems the same as physical practices and performances, but now the internet has allowed more people like us to learn from masters around the world. During the pandemic, we have organized several classes online -->check it out in our facebook page. And we need you to help us push UMPCO beyond the current limit!
