Light Ministry Orchestra.

Let's light up Indonesia.

Light Ministry Orchestra (LMO) is a Jakarta youth orchestra founded in 2023 by Edmund Lucius Oey, Maddison Kurniawan and Celine Handoko, and now carried forward by a new generation of student leaders. Its creative director and conductor is Addie MS.

LMO believes every young musician deserves a stage, whatever their ability or background. Young musicians with and without special needs rehearse and perform side by side, in a space where talent is nurtured, differences are celebrated, and music brings people together.

Its concerts, from A Million Light to Rise Through Rhythm at Aula Simfonia Jakarta, have taken a repertoire from Mozart and Strauss to film music onto real stages, including the World Children's Day celebration in Jakarta.

Orchestra doesn't have a look. You just need to show up.

Join the orchestra

LMO trains young musicians in Jakarta, roughly grades 7 to 11, through weekly rehearsals and sectionals. Membership is by audition: show what you can play, and grow from there.

Mentored, not just conducted

Behind every performance are mentors who stay a little longer and explain one more time. Under Addie MS and the LMO mentors, the aim is to shape character as much as musicianship.
