The expat retirees here are easy to spot here.

On the road they are the ones who stops at lights and get in lane.

Off the road they are the ones who stop at bars and get insane.

Going back to your question - Penang island is quite a small place so you'll soon get a feel for it and decide what you want. Assuming you rent then it's easy to move if you get it wrong. As for the music there's a lot of stuff going on at Straits Quay which others on here will probably know more about.

Apart from the obvious events that take place in the Performing Arts Centre (PAC) there would appear to be a concert of baroque music at somewhere called Pisa. Concert of baroque music in Penang - May 20, 2018 5:30 PM | Eventful but looking on google maps this seems to be at the end of some un-named road in the middle of nowhere. Perhaps someone can enlighten me?

Oh well, as it's not happening until 2018 at least you have a couple of years to find the place!

Oh dear, I was quite hopeful of a bit of culture but not if I have to wait two years for it. Never mind back to the Petri dish and agar agar in this heat the culture will arrive much sooner.
