Jakarta Concert Orchestra
(JCO) held a symphony concert for the 2025 nation at Graha Bhakti Budaya, Taman Ismail Marzuki, Jakarta on Saturday (2/8) night.This event was held at the same time to celebrate the 80th Anniversary of Indonesian Independence.
Carrying the theme “8 Decade of Indonesian Music”, the orchestra concert seems to invite the audience to enter the time machine by displaying dozens of iconic songs attached to each decade.
As a vocal filler, JCO took cross -generation choir starting from The Resonanz Children’s Choir, Batavia Madrigal Singer, to Armonia Choir.They sing to show a neat and entertaining choreography.
Not only that, singer Isyana Sarasvati was also involved by bringing several songs.
Conductor Avip Priatna revealed the process of choosing a song is one of the most difficult things.The songs chosen are those who are considered to be able to describe the development of Indonesian music.
The songs are re-arranged in the style of orchestra without eliminating the original taste that makes it iconic.
“In this edition, we want to feel the journey of Indonesian music in one night,” Avip said in a press conference just before the concert was held.
This 2.5 hour concert is divided into two rounds.The first round featured songs in the 1945-1985 era such as Indonesia Pusaka, Bengawan Solo, Pool Milk, Nurlela, Galih and Ratna, until the storm would have passed.
For the decade of 1975-1985, this concert inserted a medley song of the late Titiek Puspa as a form of respect that is saving, let’s come here, and what.
“This is a form of our respect for Titiek Puspa who has just died,” Avip said.
In the second half, the orchestra featured the 1985-2025 song that was familiar in the ears of the current generation such as the language of the heart, Laskar Pelangi, always in your pulse, hoping not to separate, until Lexicon was delivered directly by Isyana.
Avip hopes that the symphony for the 2025 nation can become a young composer for work.Not only that, by involving cross -generation choirs, this event can be a bridge to preserve Indonesian music to the younger generation.
“We invite the little choir group so they can find out the Indonesian national anthem,” he explained.
