Twilite Orchestra to play for DPD

JAKARTA: Indonesia's top classical music group, the Twilite
Orchestra, will perform at the opening of the inaugural annual
plenary meeting of the Regional Representatives Council (DPD).

DPD deputy speaker Irman Gusman said the group, which is led
by Addie M.S., would play national, regional and heroic tunes for
about one hour before the start of the meeting, scheduled for
Tuesday.

"Their performance will help strengthen the sense of
patriotism and brotherhood (among DPD members)," he said on
Saturday.

"He (Addie) will perform for free," he added.

President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono will attend the plenary
meeting, during which he is expected to deliver a speech covering
such topics as accelerating development in the regions. -- Antara
