The JERIN project was initiated in an amazing gala concert in October 2011, where 150 musicians from Germany, Indonesia and Thailand participated and was lead by one of the most renowned conductors in the world, Gudni Emilsson. In 2012, JERIN continued to bring more quality cultural performances to Indonesia by bringing one of Germany’s most reputable pianists, OLIVER KERN in collaboration with the Indonesian violinist Iskandar Widjaja-Hadar.

Oliver Kern is also known as the first German pianist ever to win the Beethoven Award prize in Vienna in 2001. He’s much appreciated for his performances of Beethoven and Brahms music. The critics recognize his merit of possessing a technical virtuosity that isn’t an end to itself but it is oriented to a thorough research of timbre and expression. So far, his profound interpretations have led him to numerous important festivals in America, Asia and Europe. In 2014, Kern will present his interpretations of classical music to audiences in Jakarta. The works of Ludwig van Beethoven are especially dear to him with live orchestra and big choir.
