KV2 brings the magic of Disney to Jakarta with special performances from star Indonesian musical artists

3/9/2024

Jakarta, Indonesia – The Indonesia Design District (IDD) in the PIK 2 development just outside Jakarta recently played host to a spectacular evening recreating the magic of Disney in orchestral form. Disney Harmony: A Magical Evening was a special orchestral event featuring many of Disney’s best-known songs performed by Indonesian stars, Lucky Octavian and Eka Deli. Under the direction of renowned Musical Director, Dwiki Dharmawan, the concert offered stunning orchestral arrangements of Disney’s most popular songs through the ages, taking the audience on a musical journey filled with magic and nostalgia. A VHD audio system from KV2 ensured that the audience was able to savour every note.

The event was held in the IDD’s Town Hall building which has a capacity of 2,500 people. Rental companies EO Toto Sound Pro and Sumber Ria were responsible for providing the audio equipment, and KV2’s Leo Tanzil provided support and advice during the set-up and sound check.

“We sound-checked with Lucky Octavian performing a duet with Eka Deli singing excerpts from Disney classics including Beauty & The Beast, The Lion King, Aladdin, Mulan and many more, accompanied by Dwiki Dharmawan on piano,” recalls Tanzil. “We even got some lessons from Lucky on vocal exercises in between the songs which was really interesting for us! And another good test for the system.”

The system comprised a pair of powerful VHD2.0 and VHD1.0 point source cabinets (one each per side) supplemented by eight VHD4.18 subwoofers. Power was supplied by two KV2 VHD2000s for the mid-high boxes and two VHD3200s for the subs.

“Lucky and Eka’s vocal reproduction is very harmonious and well-articulated throughout – they are both extremely talented singers with powerful voices,” continues Tanzil. “I was pleased to note that we could hear all the detail of their voices without it feeling aggressive. Also, the trumpet sound was very detailed with no clipping or stacking, but we could feel the micro dynamics of the vibration from the mouth of the trumpet. The same goes for the piano – the detail and transparency was beautiful.”

KV2 systems are renowned for their crystalline, non-fatiguing reproduction which is why they are found on so many musical theatre shows – including many major Disney productions.

The show went off without a hitch and was extremely well-received by the audience who enjoyed the timeless magic of Disney’s music brought to life with a grand orchestral touch. According to Adityo Ramadhan D, Marketing Communication IDD PIK 2, the evening was a great success, uniting generations. “We were able to bring back beautiful childhood memories for the adults while creating new ones for the children who loved every moment.”

Musical Director Dwiki Dharmawan was also delighted with the event which sounded fantastic. "We were delighted to present this concert, where the beauty of orchestral music meets the magic of the Disney world. It was an unforgettable moment for all the families who came."
