Indonesia - ITS Student Choir
ITS Student Choir (Surabaya, Indonesia)
Diretto da Budi Susanto Yohanes
Il coro ITS dell’Istituto di Tecnologia è stato fondato nel 1975 su iniziativa di molti studenti che volevano creare un punto di incontro per che voleva ritrovarsi nel segno della musica e delle attività corali. Il coro attualmente è formato sia da studenti che da laureati che settimanalmente si danno appuntamento per provare e fare pratica. Il gruppo, però, oltre a formare musicalmente i suoi componenti, è in grado di produrre un solido rapporto interpersonale tra i cantori. Il coro ITS è diretto da Budi Susanto Yohanes. Negli ultimi anni il coro ha partecipato a numerosi concerti e concorsi, non solo in Indonesia:
1.Concorso internazionale di Busan (Corea) nel 2010 - 1° premio come coro misto e nella categoria di canto popolare;
2.Concorso internazionale di Rimini (Italia) nel 2011 - 1° posto per le esibizioni di canto popolare e 3° posto come coro misto;
3.Concorso internazionale di Cantonigros (Spagna) nel 2013 - 3° posto nella categoria di canto popolare; Concorso internazionale di polifonia a Torrevieja (Spagna) nel 2013 – 3° posto nella categoria polifonica; Brawijaya Festival (Indonesia) nel 2014 – 3° posto nella categoria a voci miste e riconoscimento come coro favorito.
Budi Susanto Yohanes, direttore e compositore indonesiano, è stato nominato “miglior direttore” al concorso di Rimini nel 2011, un recente premio che si aggiunge alla ricca lista di riconoscimenti ottenuti nel corso della sua carriera.

Da quel momento Budi ha continuato con successo la sua carriera di direttore e direttore artistico di molte performance, ottenendo premi prestigiosi in Germania, Spagna, Italia, Corea ed Indonesia. All’attività di direzione Budi affianca quella di composizione e produce brani commissionati dall’Associazione per la musica in suole internazionali, oltre che da molti cori dell’Indonesia. Le sue composizioni ed i suoi arrangiamenti sono stati pubblicati da Earthsongs USA, Carus-Verlag Germania, Singapore Choral Research Center e Gracioso Sonora Choir. Gai’ Bintang e Janger sono esempi delle sue composizioni più famose che fondono i diversi elementi della musica tradizionale indonesiana. Essendo un musicista versatile, Budi ha potuto ottenere successi su più fronti: come direttore artistico, come vocal coach e come cantante. Budi Susanto Yohanes è nato nel 1979 e si è avvicinato alla musica con lo studio del pianoforte, ma ha proseguito la sua esperienza da autodidatta. Attualmente vive a Seul, dove studia all’Università Nazionale per ottenere il diploma in direzione corale.
