The return of Padma Musical Series welcomes Indonesian talents Joey Alexander and Dira Sugandi, alongside Daniel Winshall, Kuba Skowroński, and Tyson D. Jackson, for a melodic evening at Padma Resort Legian.
Bali has an undeniably special relationship with music, whether it’s the traditional symphonies that fill the air around temples, high-octane raves attracting global partygoers, or special events centred around contemporary showings. One of the island’s most anticipated is the Padma Musical Series, which has been bringing globally recognised names to its stage over the years. For its forthcoming edition with Blibli on Saturday, 11 July 2026, the programme looks no further than Bali’s own talent, welcoming Joey Alexander as the evening’s headliner.
The Grammy-nominated pianist is bringing along his band from the United States. Formed from New York’s long-standing jazz scene, the ensemble comprises bassist Daniel Winshall, saxophonist Kuba Skowroński, and drummer Tyson D. Jackson. Guests can look forward to experiencing Joey’s deft skills on the piano, which he has honed over the years following his move to the United States. His distinctive style as a pianist and composer will be showcased throughout the evening, balancing expressive dynamics with smooth precision.
Rounding out the evening is Indonesian vocalist Dira Sugandi, a name that has grown into one of the nation’s staples in the realm of jazz and soul singing. She has shared stages with living legends across the world, including Yo-Yo Ma, David Foster, and Andrea Bocelli. She will be joining Joey’s musical quartet as a special guest, complementing the evening’s jazzy affair with her sumptuous, smoky pipes.
This edition of Padma Musical Series doubles as a homecoming for Joey and the resort’s chance to showcase two of Indonesia’s musical prodigies. Like previous stages, this showing will be nothing short of spectacular, especially with the presence of local talents that continue to demonstrate Indonesia’s ability to be on a level playing field with global entertainment.
