Dutch musicians charm city audience

TANGERANG (JP): A group of Dutch musicians charmed an audience
of 150 people at Yayasan Musik Jakarta music school here on
Sunday.

The four-member Camerata Trajectina ensemble which specializes
in 16th and 17th century Dutch music presented works by
Corneliszoon Hooft, Constantijn Huygens and Jacob van Eyck among
others.

The ensemble, which was founded in 1974, combined vocal and
traditional instruments including the lute, recorder, viol and
cittern.

The audience were delighted when two members of the ensemble
played Music for two viol players, a work by Tobias Hume but
played on a single viol.

The concert, jointly organized by Erasmus Huis and Yayasan
Musik Jakarta, was held to mark the opening of the school on
Jalan Letnan Sutopo at Bumi Serpong Damai, the fourth branch of
the school in town.

Dr. Kuei Pin Yeo, noted pianist and head of the school said
she planned to organize a monthly concert at Bumi Serpong Damai
school. The next concert will be held on June 3 and will be
dedicated specially for children. (hbk)
