Indonesia made its first appearance at the European Grand Prix (EGP) for Choral Singing on Aug. 28 in Arezzo, Italy, representing Asia in the prestigious annual competition.
Mita Jasmine, the choir’s spokeswoman, said that the grand prix had been a tough battle for all five competing choirs. “Being a finalist in the grand prix was already an acclaimed and hard-earned achievement, since it was a battle between the best of the best,” Mita told The Jakarta Post via text message.
The Batavia Madrigal Singers (BMS) became eligible to compete in the EGP after winning top honors at the Prof. Georgi Dimitrov International May Choir Competition in Varna, Bulgaria, in 2012, beating the winners of choral competitions held in Tolosa, Spain; Arezzo, Italy; Debrecen, Hungary; Maribo, Slovenia; and Tours, France.
