belongs to the youth.
I can now say the same for the world of classical music in Indonesia, especially after organising several recitals by young "amateur" musicians. Sure, their talents differ: some have more and some have less, but they all have these things in common: they have professional work ethics, they come on stage well-prepared, they give their best with what they have and because of that they're willing to go the extra mile, and they never take anything for granted. They're doing it for love. It's so rare here, and it's inspiring.
More and more young Indonesian musicians are now going abroad to study. They're equipped with bigger voice and stronger technique and better preparation, thanks to their teachers. If they keep up the good work, once they become pros, if they don't forget who they were when they started, and that they owe it to themselves to always, always give 100%, if they realize that they have responsibilities and act accordingly, I think I can cross my fingers and look forward to a brighter future in my country's classical music scenery.
