THE WAIT IS FINALLY OVER! For the 11th consecutive time, PPIA Monash proudly presentto you, Soundsekerta 2017. This year, the biggest Indonesian music festival in Australia is back with the theme “HARMONY IN DIVERSITY”. This acts a reminder of the beauty which exists within differences. Music knows no boundary and does not differentiate between gender, race, ethnicity, religion, and ideology. Instead, it is a vehicle to strengthen the unity not only between Indonesians living in Melbourne, but also people who appreciate and have interest in the beauty and culture of Indonesia.
Soundsekerta2017 will be held on 16th September 2017, located in the heart of Melbourne CBD: Melbourne Townhall.
