Nathania Karina, Conductor on Palace Stage
The GBN’s performances have received wide and positive appreciation this year. The GBN and composer Purwacaraka, who is also a patron of the musical ensemble, even became a trending Twitter topic on 17 Aug. 2022.
Before appearing on stage at Merdeka Palace, Jakarta, on Independence Day, Nathania Karina, 37, was faced with the question: “What dress should a female conductor wear?” She chose a modest Balinese-style kebaya (long-sleeved blouse). She didn’t want attire that looked masculine to “fit” her purpose of conducting the choir group, Gita Bahana Nusantara.
