Jazz Gunung Indonesia 2020 Held Virtually and Face-to-Face, Committee Implements Strict Health Protocols

Kapanlagi.com - The Jazz Gunung Indonesia music event will be held in 2020. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Jazz Gunung Indonesia presents a different concept, namely the Hybrid Concert by holding Jazz Gunung Bromo virtually and Jazz Gunung Ijen live on location.

"Jazz Gunung Indonesia Hybrid Concert is the answer to the question from the general public on how we can watch music concerts in the midst of a pandemic," said the initiator of Jazz Gunung Indonesia and also the Chairman of the Mask Wearing Movement (GPM), Sigit Pramono, in a virtual press conference on Friday (12/4/2020).

What's interesting is that this event will be held simultaneously on December 12, 2020. Not only the audience, but also the artists, musicians, technicians, and committee members must follow very strict health protocols. As for the audience capacity, the committee only provides a capacity of 300 spectators.

Sigit Pramono said that through this Hybrid Concert concept, Jazz Gunung Indonesia is expected to become one of the moments of creative economic and tourism revival.

"This is a smart breakthrough on how the Indonesian nation can continue to control the pandemic, save lives, and at the same time save the economy," said Sigit Pramono.

"The tourism and creative economy sectors will begin to rise, because people don't need to worry about traveling and watching music concerts in open spaces with three obligations, namely mandatory antigen testing, mandatory mask wearing, mandatory social distancing," continued Sigit Pramono.

Several famous top musicians will enliven Jazz Gunung Indonesia 2020. For the performances at this virtual Jazz Gunung Bromo concert, it will be enlivened by Ring of Fire feat. Tashoora, Tohpati, and Ricad Hutapea. Then for Jazz Gunung Ijen, which is held in Banyuwangi, it will feature Bintang Indrianto feat. Sruti Respati and Sri Hanuraga Trio feat. Dira Sugandi.

The Jazz Gunung Indonesia Hybrid Concert will be divided into two segments in a day. Everyone in the amphitheater area is required to wear an SNI-standard mask supported by GPM in implementing the 3M protocol and undergo antigen testing by the Gerakan Sejuta Tes Antigen (Million Antigen Test Movement).

This is done to ensure that no one is positively infected with the Corona virus. In addition, the organizers also provide an adequate number of hand washing stations and hand sanitizers.
