**Interview with the Organizer of the Indonesian Musical Festival**
**Editor:** Today, we have the pleasure of speaking with Maya Adi, the lead organizer of the Indonesian Musical Festival, taking place this weekend in Jakarta. Thank you for joining us, Maya!
**Maya Adi:** Thank you for having me! It’s great to be here.
**Editor:** The Indonesian Musical Festival is happening from October 25th to 27th. Could you tell us what inspired you to create this festival?
**Maya Adi:** Absolutely! We wanted to celebrate the rich musical culture of Indonesia while providing a family-friendly environment. There hasn’t been a festival solely dedicated to musicals in Indonesia, so we thought it was a great opportunity to showcase local talent, encourage family engagement with the arts, and create a fun atmosphere for everyone.
**Editor:** That sounds wonderful! What can attendees expect to experience at the festival this weekend?
**Maya Adi:** Festival-goers can look forward to daily musical performances featuring a variety of genres and styles. We have around three shows each day, and alongside that, we have interactive workshops, panel discussions, and activities for children. It’s really designed to engage all ages.
**Editor:** It sounds like a full schedule! Is there anything in particular you’re thrilled about this year?
**Maya Adi:** I’m especially excited about the collaboration with local schools and theater groups. They’ll be performing original pieces, which showcases the incredible talent we have here in Indonesia. It’s a great way to support and nurture the next generation of artists.
**Editor:** That’s fantastic to hear! For families considering attending, what advice would you give them to make the most of the festival?
**Maya Adi:** I would recommend coming early to grab good seats for the performances, and exploring the vendors and activities before the shows begin. Also, be sure to check our social media for the schedule and any special events happening throughout the day!
**Editor:** Thank you so much for your insights, Maya. We’re looking forward to a wonderful festival this weekend!
**Maya Adi:** Thank you! I can’t wait to see everyone there!
