The presence of international artists and academics in campus learning spaces is part of the institution's efforts to strengthen the quality of graduates, expand networks, and enhance the competitiveness of Indonesian art education globally.
For students, lecturers, and music enthusiasts, this masterclass offers a rare opportunity to absorb knowledge directly from an experienced figure who has long been involved in the European professional music landscape. Activities like this also demonstrate that ISI Yogyakarta is not only a space for formal education but also a center for the exchange of ideas, artistic practice, and the development of competencies relevant to the needs of the times.
The organization of the Percussion Masterclass also strengthens the commitment of the Music Performance Study Program at ISI Yogyakarta to provide contextual, inspiring, and internationally oriented learning.
