Mount Bromo And Ijen 2020 Jazz Concerts Use The Hybrid Concert Concept

JAKARTA - Organizing music events in the midst of a pandemic is still a challenge for Indonesian music organizers. Jazz Gunung answers these concerns by holding a concert with the Hybrid Concert concept.

There are two places that become the big stage for Jazz Gunung, namely Jazz Gunung Bromo and Jazz Gunung Ijen on December 12, 2020.

Hybrid Concert is a concept where performances that are displayed outside the room will be broadcast virtually. This is made so that the audience can enjoy jazz music even at home.

Both Jazz Gunung Bromo and Jazz Gunung Ijen presented several musicians. Jazz Gunung Bromo will feature Ring of Fire feat. Tashoora, as well as Tohpati and Ricad Hutapea. Meanwhile, Jazz Gunung Ijen will feature Bintang Indrianto feat. Sruti Respati and Sri Hanuraga Trio feat. Dira Sugandi.

"Jazz Gunung Indonesia Hybrid Concert is the answer to questions from the general public, how can we watch music concerts in the midst of a pandemic. This is a smart breakthrough in how the Indonesian nation can continue to control the pandemic, save lives and simultaneously save the economy, "said Sigit Pramono, initiator of Jazz Gunung Indonesia at a press conference on Friday, December 4.

The Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy, Wishnutama, also praised the initiative by Jazz Gunung Indonesia. "The perpetrators have efforts, innovations and creativity whose energies do not stop."

The health protocol was also carried out by the Jazz Gunung Indonesia promoter by carrying out movements wearing masks and carrying out antigen tests to ensure musicians were free from the corona virus.

In the stage area, there is also a place to wash their hands and hand sanitizers so that the musicians can feel safe. The presence of the Jazz Gunung virtual concert is also entertainment for people who miss watching the concert stage.

Jazz Gunung Bromo and Jazz Gunung Ijen will be held simultaneously on December 12.
