The acclaimed Padma Musical Series continues with an evening of world-class classical music, headlined by internationally renowned violinist Iskandar Widjaja, accompanied by celebrated Indonesian pianist Stephanie Onggowinoto.

Set against the luxurious backdrop of Padma Resort Legian on Saturday, 16 August 2025, this immersive concert promises a night of virtuosic flair, musical storytelling, and the unmistakable charisma of one of the most captivating violinists of our time.

Hailed as both “a true force of nature” (The Strad) and a “rockstar” (The Jakarta Post), Iskandar Widjaja has enthralled audiences across five continents. His genre-bending style and magnetic stage presence have taken him to iconic venues such as the Berlin Philharmonie, Vienna Konzerthaus, and Carnegie Hall. His collaborations span from world-class conductors to global pop icons. Known for blending technical mastery with expressive depth, Iskandar is redefining the classical music experience for a new generation.

Joining him on stage is Stephanie Onggowinoto, a pianist praised for her “crystal-clear, luminous sound” and profound musical sensitivity. Stephanie has graced stages including Tokyo Opera City Hall, Singapore’s Esplanade, and Weill Hall at Carnegie Hall. Widely recognized for her artistry as both a soloist and chamber musician, she is also a prizewinner at prestigious international competitions, bringing poise and precision to every performance.

For this concert Iskander has curated a bold and genre-defying program. From the elegance of Handel and Bach to the bold virtuosity of Sarasate and the folk-infused flair of the Concerto Nusantara—commissioned by Sultan Hamengkubuwono X—this performance reimagines the classical recital for a modern audience. A journey through the classics and some of the most celebrated compositions from across the archipelago.

Together, Iskandar and Stephanie will present an evening of sonic exploration—spanning timeless works of the classical repertoire—inviting audiences into a world of beauty, imagination, and virtuosity.
