Violin Recital

Sabtu, 16 Agustus 2008. Another weekend di Jakarta. Banyak sekali kegiatan di seluruh Jakarta terutama menjelang peringatan HUT RI keesokan harinya. Sore itu bada Ashar, aku dan teman mengunjungi “Festival Kejomoo” di Plaza Selatan Gelora Bung Karno. Wah, baru dateng aja udah mupeng dengan semua makanan yang ada (Lho, ini kok judulnya “Violin Recital” tp malah cerita tentang Keju hehehe…). Akhirnya kami berdua membeli pancake…hmmm…yummy. Setelah muter-muter di area Plaza Selatan, kami menuju fx, penasaran aja pengen liat mall baru sekalian mau numpang shalat maghrib di mushala-nya. Tak lama kemudian datang temanku yang lain. Kami bertiga berencana menonton Violin Recital di Erasmus Huis. Sebenernya acaranya dimulai pukul 19.30, namun sesuai dengan anjuran pada saat reserved ticket via telepon, kami sebaiknya datang sebelum pukul 19.00, so 15 menit sebelum pukul 19.00 kami sudah tiba di Erasmus Huis.

Acara Violin Recitalnya terlambat sekitar 15 menit. Acara ini diselenggarakan oleh Dewan Kesenian Jakarta. Recital kali ini mempersembahkan dua orang musisi yaitu Gabriel Ng (violin) yang baru berusia 13 tahun dan Inge Buniardi (Piano). Ada enam program yang ditampilkan saat recital kemarin, yaitu:

• Cantabile - N. Paganini
• La Campenella, Op. 7 - N. Paganini

• Meditation - P.I. Tchaikovsky
• Scherzo - P.I. Tchaikovsky

Pada program keempat tersebut senar biola-nya Gabriel sempet putus lho saking semangatnya dia main.

• Carmen Fantasy, Op. 25 - Pablo de Sarasate

• Elegiaque Poeme - Eugene Ysaye

• Sonata for Violin and Piano in A - Cesar Franck

Wuuihhhhhh….top banget deh….dengan usia yang baru 13 tahun permainannya Gabriel Ng hebat banget (menurut diriku yang orang awam). Sampe-sampe pas akhir Recital tepuk tangan penonton panjang banget, jadinya dikasi deh dua program tambahan. Pertama, Gabriel Ng main solo (kereeeeeeeen banget), yang kedua mengulang lagi memainkan program keempat. :clap:

Berikut ini sekilas biography kedua musisi tersebut (sumber diperoleh dari DKJ).

Before leaving Singapore in 2005, he had been learning the violin from Ms Yah Wan Har at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts since the age of four.

In the 2003 Singapore National Piano and Violin competition, he was awarded the first prize in the Junior Violin category. In May 2007, at the XIV Andrea Postacchini International Violin Competition in Italy, Gabriel was a first prize winner (intermediate category) and was also awarded the Grand Prize, as overall winner of the competition which attracted almost a hundred competitors from all over the world.

Gabriel was the 2006 HSBC Youth Excellence Award Recipient for Musical Excellence and made his debut concert the following year at the Singapore Esplanade concert hall. Besides Singapore, Gabriel has performed in public concerts in London, Tokyo, Edinburgh, Cardiff and Rome.
