Photo by Adityo Faturrochman"][/caption] For reading the first series of "Sing for the World" about the introduction and achievement of Voca Erudita choir group, please click here: Sing for the World Part 1: On Behalf of Indonesia, They Will Sing for the World

Voca Erudita has very high level of motivation to give the best for Indonesia as represented in their hard effort in their regular practises. They do not pay attention much of their tiredness and what they remember is only the way to gain achievement in the world by singing to promote and make proud of Indonesia. Their enthusiasm is endless, their spirit is boundless, and their energy is limitless. There is fire on their soul and the fire comes from here: Sebelas Maret University and Solo City.

Sebelas Maret University Solo which is commonly called as UNS is the memorable place for the member of Voca Erudita. From this place, they start to study for the plan of their future and they get precious opportunity to find many new friends who have same talent and interest in singing. Luckily, they also find student organization in UNS which seriously concerns in developing the singing talent and enhancing their quality in techniques and performance arts. They are very thankful to be the member of Voca Erudita that in fact can also help them to be more mature and responsible in life.

Solo of course also becomes the unforgettable city for them. In the city which has strong cultural taste, they get space for promoting Voca Erudita from Solo government and several institutions in Solo. In their plan to get the fund to join 1st Bandung International Choral Competition July 1- 4, 2011 and 4th Grand Prix Pattaya in Thailand in July 20 - 24, 2011, they get many supports of Solo people and institutions that provide them the opportunity in obtaining money. For example, the previous head of Solo Night Market (Ngarsopuro), Mayor Haristanto gave the chance to perform in Ngarsopuro every Saturday night to attract the direct donation from the people who came to that night market. The management of Solo Grand Mall also supported them a lot by letting them perform in its food court. Simply saying, they get bunch of love from Solo people in the form of continuous support and prayer.

As the gratitude to UNS and Solo City, Voca Erudita presented the big concert entitled "Notes - A Journey of Symphony" in Friday, June 17, 2011 in UNS auditorium. They invited people supporting a lot for succeeding the journey to Bandung and Pattaya. That concert was also called as their pre competition concert as the medium to strengthen their mental, to proof what they had practised, and to fortify all the concepts of performance in the next competitions. With conductor Redi Sabtono and pianist Jenira, they were ready to entertain and impress the audiences.

At 7 pm, UNS auditorium had been crowded with the audiences. Before entering auditorium, audiences were entertained by mini stage outside with simple nice acoustic performance. They were welcomed by other Voca Erudita members (who did not perform that night) who wore elegant yellow outfit. The atmosphere was classy and graceful that night. While audiences waited for the choir performing, they were surprised by the sudden attendance of a group of acapella. They consisted of five singers with oriental outfit. One of them was member of Voca Erudita from Hong Kong (also student in UNS), Chung Wing Yeung. Of course, he was very precise to lead that acapella group in the main stage with Mandarin song entitled "Yue Liang Dai Biao Wo De Xin". People was very impressed with the performance as they could start the night with charming performance and delightful aura.

After that performance ended, suddenly the main stage was fulfilled by many singers with black outfit. They ladies singers looked elegant and classy with their black long dress and they men singers looked mature in their black coat. They thrilled the audiences with two songs with simple choreography. Those songs were The Land of Music and Marilah Kemari.

The following activity for audiences was watching the main performances. The performances were divided into four sessions. The first was called as Pattaya session and the second was called as Bandung session. Of course the intention to make those names was for the reminder for audiences that the concert was also as the preparation before going to Bandung and Pattaya. The third was the time for the choir guest. Choir group of Faculty of Technic s from Diponegoro University, Semarang also came to festive that concert. The fourth or the end was named Folklore session since they would perform various traditional songs of Indonesia.
