Dharmawangsa presents Bel Canto Vocal Music

Bel Canto (beautiful song) is an Italian term that describes a
singing style popularized across 18th century Europe when great
value was placed upon the dynamic beauty of the human voice.

The Dhamarwangsa will host a series of Vocal Music Concerts
dedicated to 500 years of music.

This social calendar is held through May 2000. The
Dharmawangsa Ballroom becomes a concert hall, with theater-style
seating for limited guests. The performances begin at 7 p.m.,
including a preperformance cocktail buffet in the foyer.

The first show is Romantic Evening of German Art Songs
(Liederabend), presented by the Batavia Madrigal Singers, who
made their debut in February 1997. The choral works will be
conducted by Music Director Avip Priatna and will also feature
Binu D. Sukaman, Aning K. Asmoro, Joseph Kristanto and guest
soloist Marijke ten Kate. The repertoire will include collections
of Schubert, Schumann and Brahms.

Each performance will be presented in two parts, with a 30-
minute intermission featuring an array of delectable desserts,
coffee and tea.
