The highlight of this year’s festivities takes place on 31 December 2025, when the shores of Sanur come alive with the Seaside Festive Symphony New Year’s Eve Concert and a spectacular Grand Buffet Dinner. This unforgettable evening brings together two extraordinary musical forces, Erwin Gutawa Orchestra and Indra Lesmana, joined by Eva Celia, Teza Sumendra, Gabriel Harvianto, and Woro Mustiko.

Erwin Gutawa Orchestra will present a stunning performance of Ethnochestra, harmoniously blending Indonesia’s cultural heritage, grandeur, and national identity.

This symphonic experience celebrates Indonesia’s rich cultural tapestry intertwining ethno-orchestral expressions with contemporary jazz influences, diverse culinary offerings, and world-class hospitality. Seaside Festive Symphony positions Indonesia as a cultural powerhouse, showcasing the nation’s diverse talents and strong identity.

Renowned jazz maestro Indra Lesmana, together with Eva Celia and Teza Sumendra, will showcase jazz as a global musical language through a modern, expressive, and cross-generational performance, one that celebrates music while preserving Indonesian traditions and passing them on to the next generation. Their collaboration with Erwin Gutawa Orchestra bridges contemporary jazz with Indonesian ethnic richness, creating a dynamic and memorable experience for both local and international audiences.
