Journey through dreams, memories, and the enduring spirit of choral unity

The Indonesian Children & Youth Choir – Cordana proudly presents its annual concert, "LEGACY: Symphony of Dreams, an Everlasting Serenade," to be held on May 10, 2025, at Usmar Ismail Hall, South Jakarta. This special event is a heartfelt tribute to honor and continue the musical legacy and life values of the late Aida Swenson, affectionately known as Tante Aida.

As the second concert since the pandemic and since Tante Aida's passing, LEGACY is no longer a moment of mourning, but a celebration of the mission, spirit, and enduring influence she instilled in the journey of Indonesia’s children and youth choirs. The theme “Legacy” embodies the idea of heritage as a bridge between the past and the future — a symphony of hope that continues to echo through the works and lives of future generations.

The concert will be led by Mark Anthony Carpio, Choir Master of The Philippine Madrigal Singers, who will serve as the guest conductor. His presence, as one of the most influential figures in the international choral scene, promises a deeply moving and beautifully crafted musical experience.

Adding to the evening’s resonance are special performances by two guest choirs: the Maranatha Christian University Choir, conducted by Agustinus Bambang Jusana, and PSM UI Paragita, led by Aning Katamsi. Both ensembles will present stirring harmonies, enriching a night filled with cherished memories and dreams.

"LEGACY: Symphony of Dreams, an Everlasting Serenade" is not only a musical homage but also an invitation to celebrate the timeless values passed down through generations. Through its melodies, the concert becomes a symbol of unity, continuity, and a profound love for Indonesian culture and music.

Mark your calendar and be part of a night where the past and future unite in a symphony full of meaning. Feel the heartbeat in every note — because legacy is not only about what we leave behind, but about what we inspire in the world.
