Music has long connected Malaysia and Indonesia beyond borders. This July, that connection takes centre stage through The CIRCLE by Marriott Bonvoy: Jejak Nada, an orchestral concert that unites some of the region’s most beloved artists for one evening in Jakarta.
Taking place on 3 July 2026 at The St. Regis Jakarta, the concert marks the debut of The CIRCLE by Marriott Bonvoy, a new platform designed to bring together music, culture, art and travel experiences. For Malaysian audiences, the spotlight falls on two homegrown names. Music icon Sheila Majid and rising singer Didie Shazry will represent Malaysia alongside a celebrated Indonesian lineup.
Malaysia And Indonesia Share One Stage
At the heart of Jejak Nada is a rare cross-border collaboration. Sheila Majid and Didie Shazry will perform alongside Indonesian music heavyweights Kris Dayanti, Tulus, Nadhif Basalamah, and Anggi Marito.
Together, the artists represent different generations and musical styles. While Sheila Majid brings decades of influence and a catalogue that resonates across Southeast Asia, Didie Shazry introduces a younger voice to the programme. The pairing creates an interesting balance between established legacy and emerging talent. More importantly, the concert highlights the long-standing cultural ties between Malaysia and Indonesia. Through music, those connections continue to evolve while remaining familiar to audiences on both sides of the region.
Familiar Songs Reimagined Through Orchestra
The evening will be led by acclaimed Indonesian composer and music director Andi Rianto, accompanied by the renowned Magenta Orchestra.
Known for transforming contemporary songs through sweeping orchestral arrangements, Andi Rianto’s work often bridges modern popular music with cinematic scale. For Jejak Nada, audiences can expect familiar songs to return in a different form, layered with orchestral textures that add new depth and emotion. Rather than focusing solely on nostalgia, the concert aims to reinterpret well-loved music through a fresh perspective. As a result, the experience promises moments that feel both intimate and grand, combining personal memories with large-scale live performance.
The Beginning Of The CIRCLE By Marriott Bonvoy
Beyond the music itself, Jejak Nada introduces The CIRCLE by Marriott Bonvoy, a new initiative centred around curated cultural experiences. The platform reflects a growing demand for experiences that connect travel with personal interests, particularly music and entertainment. Through concerts, artistic collaborations and exclusive events, Marriott Bonvoy aims to create opportunities that extend beyond traditional hospitality.
For its inaugural edition, Jejak Nada sets an ambitious tone. Bringing together some of Malaysia and Indonesia’s most recognisable voices under one roof, the event positions itself as both a concert and a cultural exchange.
One Night, Shared Memories
As the countdown to 3 July begins, Jejak Nada Orchestral Concert offers audiences a chance to witness a unique gathering of artists who have shaped, and continue to shape, the region’s music landscape.
From Sheila Majid’s enduring influence to Didie Shazry’s rising presence, the Malaysian representation adds another layer to an already impressive lineup. Combined with Andi Rianto’s orchestral direction and performances from Indonesia’s leading artists, the evening promises a celebration of music that transcends borders, generations and genres.
