Bandung Catholic University Choir

Bandung Catholic University Choir

I am not normally given to writing in, unlike a number of your
regular but tiresome contributors to the letters column. However,
I was so impressed by last weekend's performance at the Erasmus
Huis of the Bandung Catholic University Choir that I would like
to make other interested readers aware of their existence.

In an environment not always noted for its pursuit of
excellence, it was heartening to come across a team of people so
clearly dedicated to quality. This choir has attained
extraordinary levels of performance and it came as no surprise to
me to learn that they recently won a prestigious international
competition in the Netherlands. They are impressive performers in
all respects -- tone, diction, dynamics and discipline.

My only regret is that information on musical events in
Jakarta are generally not publicized widely enough to attract the
audience which such quality performers clearly deserve.
