Farabi Music Education Institution (LPM Farabi) is not merely a music education institution. It is a large cohesive family that has great passion for music and wishes to share the brilliance of music with the general society. On 2 September 2007, they will enthusiastically present a beautiful gift laced with swaying harmony in the form of a concert held in Jakarta ’s Art Building (GKJ). Titled ‘A Gift of Harmony’, the concert involves the ‘children’ of the Farabi Music Education Institution ‘family’. These young individuals will be showcasing their skills through performances of classical music and also modern music with an acoustic twist.

Farabi’s pride and joy will specially perform various repertoires in different packaging. Mia Tri Utama (solo piano) dance to produce ‘Fragmen’, composed by Jaya Suprana. Shinta Lestarini and Feby Sukova Nevizond (duo piano) will present ‘Blue Rondo a la Turk’ (composed by Dave Brubeck and arranged by ‘father’ Dwiki Dharmawan) and ‘Janger’ (arrangement by Dwiki Dharmawan).

In the spirit of warm and touching family nuance, the ‘family’ wishes to recognize the elders which have patiently and loyally dedicated themselves as music practitioners and educators. The recognition is bestowed to JB Harmonianto, Roelly Budiono, Oele Pattiselanno and the late Prahayawan Prabowo.
