The Harmony of Working Hand in Hand | MSO Indonesia Tour 2025

The MSO’s visit in October 2025 was the first engagement as part of the two four-year Memorandums of Understanding that were signed with the Government of the Special Region of Yogyakarta and the Yogyakarta Royal Orchestra. The delegation of five MSO string players plus MSO staff, including CEO Richard Wigley, commenced the visit with two days of workshops with the Yogyakarta Royal Orchestra and Yogyakarta Royal Youth Orchestra. There was a forum held with staff and musicians from the Yogyakarta Royal Orchestra to share experiences and involved a detailed discussion about orchestral operations. The theme of the 2025 Youth Music Camp was “The Harmony of Working Hand in Hand” and featured works by Handel, Australian composer Caerwen Martin, Karl Jenkins, Eric Whitacre and a new commission written by Yogyakarta composer and alumni of the University of Melbourne, Vishnu Satyagraha. Vishnu’s work, Aluna Digdaya, featured a traditional rice pounding device, the ‘Gejog Lesung’, where the wooden mortar and pestles became musical instruments, and also included singing and dancing from a modern performance troupe. Australian Deputy Head of Mission, Ms Gita Kamath, joined the orchestra for the collaboration concert as a violinist – an impactful moment in this ongoing project between the MSO and Yogyakarta Special Region. Filmed and edited by Samantha Meuleman. Music: Vishnu Satyagraha - Aluna Digdaya The MSO's international engagement activities are supported by the Victorian Government.
