Last weekend, the 2024 Prambanan Jazz Festival was set ablaze by a number of well-known musicians, with the performance of Indonesian jazz maestro Indra Lesmana being one of the most anticipated acts. The seasoned jazz keyboardist enthralled the audience with his exceptional musical prowess, delivering a series of old hits infused with both nostalgia and surprising twists.

Indra Lesmana did not perform alone; he shared the stage with his daughter, Eva Celia, adding an extra layer of excitement to the festival. Their captivating collaboration was undoubtedly one of the highlights, showcasing their remarkable chemistry and talent.

However, the event was not without its challenges. Indra faced technical difficulties that prevented him from presenting his full setlist. Additionally, a misunderstanding regarding the timing of his performance led to an unfortunate narrative from the event's presenter, who inaccurately claimed that Indra was late to prepare.

In a statement on Twitter and Instagram, Indra clarified the situation: "My clarification is on the lies conveyed by the MC Festival last night which he said I was late. What actually happened was that we had to wait on the backstage 2 hours after we arrived at the venue because the committee had not completed the administration to the sound system vendor."

Such incidents are regrettable, particularly given the festival's esteemed reputation and large scale. Despite the inconvenience, Indra expressed his gratitude towards the enthusiastic audience who enjoyed the performance. "You are all cool and we love you all! Hopefully one day we meet again," he shared in his social media posts.

Indra Lesmana's professionalism and dedication to his craft shone through, ensuring that the festival's attendees experienced a memorable evening of high-quality jazz music. The 2024 Prambanan Jazz Festival will be remembered not only for its music but also for the resilience and spirit of its performers.
