Yogyakarta excels with a dozen of art galleries and studios of Indonesia’s prominent painters, sculptors, modern batik designers and choreographers. The educational institutions of art and craft both provided by state or private are available here, such as Indonesia Institute of Art, the Conservatorium of Classical Javanese Music and Dance, some of art foundations, art exercise and rehearsals etc. The richness in variations are that this city has in store is one of many aspects that makes Yogyakarta is a city of endless wonder and fascination.  Definitely Yogyakarta is Indonesia java international destination.

Why Yogyakarta is Indonesia java international destination, it is because there are a lot of famous tourist destinations in Jogja. One of them is Kraton. Kraton is the place where Sultan (the King) lives. The citizens of Jogja still honor their King until now even though the kingdom has ended. In general, the Kraton area stretches 5 kilometers southwards to Krapyak village and 2 kilometers northwards until the Tugu monument. This place is one of the biggest attractions of the regional Jogja. In addition Parangtritis also ranks the top of the places frequently visited by the tourists. Parangtritis is worth visiting since it is closely related to such tourism objects as the Sultan Palace in Yogyakarta city (Kraton). The interesting thing about this place is the natural scenery which is so beautiful. When you are standing at the seashore, you will see the wide ocean with the high waves and steeply mountainside on the east side.

The trio will perform in 4 cities, bringing our commissioned work, Love and Variations, to Indonesia, and also presenting modern American works and standard repertoire from around the world.

In addition to our concert performances, we will work with young musicians in master classes at local conservatories and do outreach activities in the communities there.

The tour is also a fundraiser, as perfomance proceeds will be donated to support the Children of Indonesia’s rights advocacy through the programs implemented there.

Swara Sonora will donate Peace Tour performances’ proceeds to help fund UNICEF-supported immunisation programmes which are currently at a critical phase. About half-a-million children in Indonesia receive no immunisation by their first birthday while another 2.4 million children are only partially immunised, a recent government survey demonstrated. It is estimated that one Indonesian child dies every 3 minutes and 460 infants die everyday, some from vaccine preventable diseases.

If you are interested in helping to make this exciting project possible, please become one of our sponsors by making a tax-deductible donation to the Swara Sonora Trio. You can even make a donation by credit card online through our fiscal sponsor, Fractured Atlas.
