Padma Musical Series Welcomes Back World-Renowned Violinist Iskandar Widjaja

Legian, July 2025 – The acclaimed Padma Musical Series continues with an evening

of world-class classical music, headlined by internationally renowned violinist

Iskandar Widjaja, accompanied by the celebrated Indonesian pianist Stephanie

Onggowinoto.

Set against the luxurious backdrop of Padma Resort Legian on Saturday, 16 August

2025, the concert promises a night of virtuoso flair, musical storytelling, and the unmistakable charisma of one of the most captivating violinists of our time.

Hailed as both “a true force of nature” (The Strad) and as a “rockstar” (The Jakarta Post), Iskandar Widjaja has enthralled audiences across five continents. His genre-bending style and magnetic stage presence have ushered him to such iconic venues as the Berlin Philharmonie, Vienna Konzerthaus, and Carnegie Hall. His musical collaborators have ranged from world-class conductors to global pop icons.

Known for blending technical mastery with expressive depth, Iskandar is redefining the “classical music experience” for a new generation of concertgoers.

Joining Iskandar on stage in Bali is Stephanie Onggowinoto, a pianist praised for her “crystal-clear, luminous sound” and profound musical sensitivity. Stephanie has graced stages including Tokyo Opera City Hall, Singapore’s Esplanade, and Weill Hall at Carnegie Hall.

Widely recognized for her artistry as both a soloist and chamber musician, she is also a prizewinner at prestigious international competitions, bringing poise and precision to every performance.

For this concert, Iskandar has curated a bold and genre-defying program. From the elegance of Handel and Bach to the bold virtuosity of Sarasate and the folk-infused flair of the Concerto Nusantara, commissioned by H.E. Sultan Hamengkubuwono X, this performance reimagines the classical recital for a modern international audience—a journey through the classics and some of the most celebrated compositions from across the archipelago.

Together, Iskandar and Stephanie will present a memorable evening of sonic exploration—spanning timeless works of the classical repertoire—inviting audiences into a world of beauty, imagination, and virtuosity.
