On Friday, March 6th 2015, Conservatory of Music (CoM) UPH has just experienced a life-changing moment in which for the first time they performed a gig on one of the biggest and most prestigious contemporary music festival in the world: Jakarta International Java Jazz Festival 2015 as the opening act. Beyond expectation of Dhany Yufisa Wibowo, S.Sn., M,Pd., a lecturer of CoM who acted as the Production Head of CoM UPH on Java Jazz, they let approximately 400 spectators in awe with their performance.
Boby Augusputra Limijaya, S.Sn., BMus., Music Director of CoM Jazz Orchestra, was truly thankful to God for all things could run smoothly and he was proud of his team performance. On the interview, Boby stated that he has a very resilient team. With a difficult music arrangement and such little time, they could showcase an international level performance, regardless of any drawbacks they had back then. ?That was a part of their learning processes,? said Boby.
UPH CoM team consists of 12 CoM students from every batch, accompanied by one CoM lecturer who also participated in the show. They are Alice Grace and Julius as keyboardists, Echa Soemantri as drummer, Christian Benedict as bassist, two guitar players Andri Wibowo, UPH CoM lecturer and Nathania Jualim, four string players, Lidya Evania, Felicia Tevani, Jessics Yohanes, Nathaniel and three vocalists Jimmy Lim, Marini Nainggolan, and Rachel Christopher. Philip Limijaya, who was responsible for the production said, besides showing the ability in jazz music, the 13 jazzy-arranged Indonesian traditional songs also could promote the vast cultures of Indonesia, in accordance with the Java Jazz 2015 theme, ?Exploring Indonesia?.
?Not only getting positive respond from the audiences, CoM UPH also gained supportive feedbacks from Eki Puradiredja, Java Jazz Festival Production Coordinator,? stated Dhany while hoping that CoM UPH could have another chance to perform on Java Jazz next year. Antonius Priyanto, S.Ag., B.CM., M.Mus., Dean of CoM UPH hoped this event would be the right place to bring out CoM UPH to the public. ?According to the CoM vision, ?Model of Excellence?, we hope as an educational institution, CoM could be a role model and thus, perform not only to be a skillful musician but also must own a great character,? closed Anton.
