Malaysia's First International Fireworks Competition which was held at Putrajaya International Convention Centre. The Malaysia International Fireworks Competition, or MIFC, will be a festival of light, music, colour and culture; providing magical experiences for all that attend in the lead-up to Malaysia's Merdeka Day, Hari Merdeka. During MIFC, renowned international firework teams from around the world will gather in Malaysia to compete in one of the world's greatest Musical Fireworks Competitions. Regular fireworks displays will be dwarfed by the pyrotechnic artistry at Putrajaya. The shows will be meticulously choreographed to music; the senses will be thrilled by dazzling incandescent displays that will dance to inspirational compositions. For your information: By the 18th century, music was commonly incorporated into fireworks displays. One famous performance took place in London, England to celebrate the signing of the peace treaty ending the War of the Austrian Succession. English composer George Friedrich Handel created a symphony specifically for this event called Music for the Royal Fireworks,. In 1985, musical fireworks reappeared in spectacular style with the introduction of an international fireworks competition in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
