JAKARTA, October 9, 2026 — The countdown is on for Twilite Orchestra Presents The Beatles & Queen, and the excitement is already reaching a crescendo. All tickets for the highly anticipated concert sold out in less than one hour after official sales opened, underscoring the enduring appeal of two of the most influential bands in music history and the growing anticipation for a spectacular evening of orchestral music.
Taking place on Sunday, November 1, 2026, at 7 p.m. Western Indonesia Time (WIB) at Tennis Indoor Senayan, Jakarta, the concert promises a powerful musical encounter between the timeless songs of The Beatles and Queen and the sweeping sound of Twilite Orchestra, under the baton of renowned conductor Addie MS. Featuring acclaimed Indonesian vocalists Marcello Tahitoe, also known as Ello, and Sandhy Sondoro, with LiLo as host, the performance is set to bring generations of music lovers together for a night of unforgettable melodies and symphonic grandeur.
Promoted by TipTip, sponsored by Adinda Bakrie Foundation, and powered by BRI Prioritas, the concert is being prepared with a strong focus on artistic excellence, production quality, and the overall audience experience.
When Rock Legends Meet Symphonic Grandeur
Few musical legacies have crossed generations as effortlessly as those of The Beatles and Queen. From The Beatles’ timeless melodies and innovative songwriting to Queen’s electrifying anthems and unmistakable theatricality, their music continues to resonate with audiences around the world.
Through the distinctive orchestral interpretation of Twilite Orchestra, these iconic compositions will take on new dimensions, revealing rich harmonies, intricate textures, and the sweeping power of a full orchestra while preserving the spirit of the original songs.
Rather than simply revisiting familiar classics, the concert seeks to create a fresh musical experience—one in which nostalgia meets artistic reinvention. Longtime fans will have the opportunity to rediscover songs that have accompanied different chapters of their lives, while younger audiences can experience these musical masterpieces through a new and compelling perspective.
At the heart of the performance are Marcello Tahitoe and Sandhy Sondoro, two vocalists whose distinctive styles and musical backgrounds bring their own character to the repertoire. Having completed an extensive series of rehearsals with the orchestra, both artists are preparing to deliver performances that balance vocal expression with the scale and sophistication of symphonic arrangements.
A Special Chapter in Twilite Orchestra’s 35-Year Journey
The concert also holds special significance as part of Twilite Orchestra’s 35th-anniversary celebrations, marking three and a half decades of contribution to Indonesia’s musical landscape.
Led by Addie MS, Twilite Orchestra has consistently demonstrated that orchestral music can transcend traditional genre boundaries. By bringing orchestral arrangements to pop, rock, film music, and other contemporary forms, the ensemble has helped introduce the grandeur of orchestral performance to wider audiences.
Twilite Orchestra Presents The Beatles & Queen represents another milestone in that journey, celebrating the orchestra’s artistic maturity and its ability to reinterpret internationally celebrated music for Indonesian audiences.
For Addie MS, the process involves more than technical precision. It is about capturing the emotion, character, and essence of each composition.
“Through every rehearsal, we have worked with dedication, and I can feel the energy and readiness of the entire team growing stronger. Preparing for this performance is not simply about technical readiness, but also about bringing the character, emotion, and soul of these great works to life. We want every musical passage to become a meaningful experience for the audience, while reflecting our respect for a musical legacy that has transcended generations and time,” said Addie MS, Music Director and Conductor of Twilite Orchestra.
Marcello Tahitoe and Sandhy Sondoro Ready to Take the Stage
For the two featured vocalists, the journey toward concert night has been as rewarding as it has been exciting.
Marcello Tahitoe, widely known as Ello, expressed a mixture of anticipation and nervous excitement as the final preparations approach.
“I feel a mix of nervousness and excitement. Every time we rehearse, I discover new details in these songs that make me appreciate even more how special The Beatles’ and Queen’s music really is. I just hope that all the preparation we have put in will come through to the audience who have been waiting for this moment,” he said.
With a career spanning multiple musical styles, Ello brings a powerful and charismatic vocal presence to the stage—qualities well suited to the expressive range and dramatic intensity associated with Queen’s repertoire.
Sandhy Sondoro, meanwhile, highlighted the value of learning to work within the expansive sound of a full orchestra.
“For me, the journey toward the stage is the most valuable part. Rehearsing with an orchestra of this scale has taught me to listen, not just sing. I believe the audience will feel the commitment we have put into this performance from the very beginning, and that is what excites me the most,” he said.
Known for his soulful, jazz-inflected voice and international musical experience, Sandhy brings a distinctive interpretive sensibility to the concert, adding another layer of expression to the evening’s musical journey.
Together, the two vocalists will bridge the worlds of rock and orchestral music, bringing their individual strengths to a repertoire celebrated for its emotional depth, memorable melodies, and enduring influence.
Final Preparations Underway for an Immersive Concert Experience
With the concert date approaching, the artistic and production teams are putting the finishing touches on the stage design, lighting, sound systems, and overall concert presentation.
The production has been designed to accommodate the scale of a full orchestra alongside the two lead vocalists, creating an immersive listening experience within Tennis Indoor Senayan. Comprehensive rehearsals are also being conducted to refine transitions between songs, achieve a seamless balance between vocals and orchestral arrangements, and ensure that the visual and technical elements complement the music.
For TipTip, the sold-out announcement is both a testament to public enthusiasm and a responsibility to deliver an experience worthy of the audience’s expectations.
