It was a rare occasion that Kuching have such kind of musical concert. I guess the music scene in Kuching is up coming and more younger generation is getting involved. The concert also featuring the homegrown musical band called D'artes ensemble.
Some of the song was composed and arranged by Laura Pranti Tutom a local composer and also Drs. Yousbar Djaelani a well known composer, arranger and also the conductor.
The evening started off by a lovely piano piece played by Aki Utsunomiya and followed superb soprano performance by Misato Sakai. This was a first experience listening to a wonderful pianist and suprano by some of the audience during that evening concert.
Miss Aki Utsunomiya and Misato Sakai given the audience a wonderful musical experience.
Misato Sakai graduated and major in vocal performance especially in Italian Opera and German Art Song and she also played the piano. she is currently lecturing in Universiti Malaysia Sarawak. A wonderful suprano vocal by Misato. 
A solo piano piece by Miss Aki Utsunomiya. Miss Aki Utsunomiya has numerous performance experiences and has appeared as a soloist in The Nishinomiya Symphony Orchestra in 1991. Currently she is the pianist at The Osaka College of Music.
D' artes ensemble and Drs. Yoesbar Djaelani as the conductor. D' artes ensemble consisted of eight young talented musicians from varies professional background.
Drs. Yoesbar Djaelani, currently a lecturer in Universiti Malaysia Sarawak. He has wide experience in arranging, composing music and conducting concert. We were entertained by two wonderful piece of music 'Putus sudah kasih sayang' and 'Tunggu Sekejap' by P. Ramlee and arranged by Drs Yoesbar Djaelani for the concert and performed by Misato Sakai. The song that most of us can relate to but the intense suprano by Misato give it a different twist that most of us have not experience it before.
A lovely vocal duet by Misato Sakai (suprano) and Eddie Chan (Tenor) accompanied by musician.
A wonderful evening coming to an end with another song by the musician and lastly a presentation of bouquet.
I was unable to capture another guest artist performing with the musician. He is Christopher Dino David Ebol playing the percussion and sape. They performed a song called 'Suara Bumi Kenyalang' composed by Laura Pranti Tutom.
I hope Kuchingite can experience more musical performance in the future.
