Theatrical recital by acclaimed duo

In this theatrical concert, Madeline Saputra and Apollon Kalamenios combine three Indonesian keroncong songs with 20th-century Western art songs. Keroncong is a synthesis of Portuguese, Dutch, Malay, Javanese and Sudanese folk music and is popular throughout the Malay Archipelago. The songs are inextricably linked to colonial history and memories of the former Dutch East Indies. In this passionate recital, diverse musical traditions and histories are performed alongside each other and intertwined.

In 2025, the duo won several awards at the International Vocalists Competition in Den Bosch in the ‘Theatre in Song’ category. Soprano Saputra (Jakarta, 2000), a cum laude graduate of the Conservatorium van Amsterdam, told newspaper NRC that she prefers singing melancholic music over cheerful songs. In pianist, violinist and composer Apollon Kalamenios (Cyprus, 2003), she found the ideal partner to tell a diverse and layered story with great musical depth.
