Siti Nurhaliza concert chronology |
Konsert Satu Suara, Vol. 2 (Malaysian for the One Voice, Vol. 2 Concert) was a two-day residency show by Malaysian recording artist, Siti Nurhaliza. She was accompanied by the Indonesian recording artist Hetty Koes Endang, and Singaporean recording artist Ramli Sarip. The concert was a continuation of her 2010 concert project, Konsert Satu Suara.
Unlike the previous installment of the concert where she and her company served as a guest artist and organizer respectively, Nuhaliza was the main singer for Konsert Satu Suara, Vol. 2. Although this concert served as a replacement for an eight-day musical theater about her life which was postponed, it was a success. Tickets sold days before the concert, and she and her supporting acts received positive reviews from critics for their vocals and showmanship.
In December 2015, with an attendance of 2500 people, the two-night concert was recognized as the highest-grossing locally produced concert at Istana Budaya when it grossed more than RM 650,000 from the sale of tickets alone.
Konsert Satu Suara, Vol. 2 was announced in October 2015 and staged in November 2015. It was Siti's contingency plan for the planned eight-day "bio-musical" theater about her life, which was postponed. The news of the postponement came to light in September 2015 when Siti was asked about its progress in an interview. On 5 October, she held a press conference at Istana Budaya to announce the news of Konsert Satu Suara, Vol. 2, her two-day concert with Hetty Koes Endang and Ramli Sarip which was to be held on 7 and 8 November at Istana Budaya. Citing the lack of sponsorship and financial constraints, she stated that the two-day concert was planned to take place as a replacement show for the same dates and venue that were rendered vacant upon the postponement of the originally planned theater. She commented on the situation, "Honestly [I am] not too disappointed when our first plan did not come to fruition. This is because we have been trying [to get a sponsorship] until late September but, unfortunately, the situation is not on our side. What [I am] sure is that there is a hikmah in all of these. Maybe I will be more prepared for the musical concert later."
