ITB Chamber Choir sang Luk Luk Lumbu, an East Java’s traditional song, arranged by Budi Susanto Yohanes. We did not plan to sing this song in the recorded style. The “classical style” was used mainly due to the low scores we received in the final round of Folklore Acapella Category. Our “traditional style” of singing impaired our intonations (or so we told).

This was the fourth and last song performed in the final round of Mixed Chamber Choir Category – World Choir Games 2006 in Xiamen, China. ITB Chamber Choir won a silver medal in this category and was ranked in the fourth place.

ITB Choir sang Janger, a Balinese traditional song arranged by Budi Susanto Yohanes, at the World Choir Games Friendship Concert, Haicang Riyuegu Hot Springs Resort, Xiamen, China. This was the second frienship concert performed by ITB Choir, the first was in Jingshang Community Square.

After the Haicang concert, on popular demand ;-), we were offered to perform in two more friendship concerts. However, due to the storm that hit Xiamen during the second week of WCG, the concerts were cancelled.
