Another milestone for Indonesia’s music scene unfolds as LOCUS Festival returns to Bali, hosted at the visionary Nuanu Creative City. Headlining the four-day festival from 19–22 June 2025, the Outlook Orchestra—a groundbreaking ensemble born from the legendary European Outlook Festival—makes its Asian debut, marking a historic moment for the region’s evolving cultural landscape. Nuanu Creative City sets the stage for a powerful convergence of tradition and innovation, as it hosts the LOCUS Festival—where electronic music heritage meets classical orchestration in a rare, world-class experience.
Featuring 9 Indonesian classical musicians, the ensemble includes Yashinta Anggar Kusuma, Michria Diela Maharai, and Buchenita Naomi Wardoyo on first violin; Maria Eufrasia Arintya and Wildan Chabibi on second violin; Jean Valentino and Dolly Sambudi on viola; and Maria Maya Aristya and Stephani Putri on cello.
“Nuanu is a living canvas where global creativity and local culture meet,” said Ida Ayu Astari Prada, Brand & Communications Director, Nuanu Creative City. “This has been very true since the first day Nuanu opened its door, unveiling countless opportunities for local and global artists to have conversations, exchange ideas, and even to perform together.”
Nuanu Creative City is built on the belief that creativity can shape a better future. Through ongoing programs, festivals, and artist collaborations, Nuanu provides a platform for expression, experimentation, and exchange—uniting global voices with Balinese heritage and Indonesian creative talent. From public art installations to major cultural events like LOCUS, Nuanu is devoted to nurturing the artistic spirit of Bali and beyond.
