Jakarta, November 9, 2026 – Bringing the vibrant energy of K-Pop into the grandeur of orchestral music, TRUST Orchestra successfully presented “Into the New World: Symphonic Reimagination of K-Pop” on November 7–8, 2026, at Ciputra Artpreneur, Jakarta. The two-day concert received an enthusiastic response, with all tickets for both performances selling out, highlighting the growing appeal of innovative orchestral experiences among Indonesian audiences.

Under the baton of conductor Dr. Nathania Karina, TRUST Orchestra transformed popular K-Pop hits into captivating symphonic arrangements, offering audiences a fresh way to experience familiar melodies. By blending the distinctive sounds of K-Pop with the rich textures and dynamic power of a live orchestra, the concert created an exciting musical experience that bridged contemporary pop culture and classical instrumentation.

The excitement reached another level during Show 2 with a special appearance by boy group SEEN, alongside TRUST Chorus. The concert also featured a special performance by a girl group set to make its official debut in 2027, adding another exciting dimension to the evening.

Beyond its spectacular musical performances, Into the New World also served as a platform for emerging talent. Two winners of TRUST Mencari, the orchestra’s talent discovery program, were given the opportunity to showcase their abilities and experience performing on the stage of a professional orchestral concert.

“Through Into the New World, we wanted to show that orchestral music does not have to be associated exclusively with classical compositions. An orchestra can perform music that is part of our everyday lives, including K-Pop. Seeing the audience’s enthusiasm and having both days completely sold out is truly rewarding for us. We hope this concert will inspire more people to discover and enjoy orchestral music,” said Dr. Nathania Karina, conductor of TRUST Orchestra.

Bringing Orchestral Music Closer to Everyone

More than simply combining K-Pop and orchestral music, Into the New World reflects TRUST Orchestra’s ongoing commitment to making orchestral music more accessible and relevant to audiences across generations.

Guided by its “Orchestra for Everyone” spirit, TRUST Orchestra continues to explore fresh musical approaches, demonstrating that orchestral performances can be engaging, inclusive, and closely connected to the music people love today.

With Into the New World, TRUST Orchestra once again proved that the orchestra is not confined to traditional musical boundaries. Instead, it can be a dynamic space where different genres, generations, and musical cultures come together.
