Today is the perfect time for Classic music to obtain the same recognition as others. Being stereotyped as an expensive and old genre of music, we are from Backside Community helped by Braga Caf & Craft Bandung want to change that perception. An idea in increasing the interest and introducing classic music came into mind especially with classic crossover emerged recently. The only way to achieve this objective is by creating an event performing different kind of music interpretation by various talents. Given title, the Classic Always Works this is a pilot project in conducting one series of event to promote the classic music and its musicians. Music performed today will be an adaptation of classic music to todays taste with an expectation there will be more people could enjoy the performances and of course the music itself. This event is expected to be the pioneer in promoting classic music to younger audience. Had it succeeded, there will be another series of events coming up and hopefully with your help we could make it works.

Debussy was a central figure in European music of the turn of the 20th century and among the most important of all French composers. His works often formed around one key or pitch reflected the activities and turbulence in his own life. His music virtually defines the transition from late romantic music to modernist music. The style of this period was known as symbolism in French literary circles which inspired Debussy both as a composer and as active cultural participant. Along with Maurice Ravel, he was one of the most prominent figures working within the field of impressionist music though he himself intensely disliked the term when applied to his compositions.
