Denting Kami Mulai Bergema

October 2nd, 1952|

Denting nada pertama kami bergema di Jalan Pegangsaan Tengah No.2, Jakarta. Dibawah naungan atap gedung Perwari. Itulah hari kelahiran kami. Goresan pertama kami di atas kanvas sejarah seni musik, khususnya di Jakarta. Perwujudan positif dalam mengisi kemerdekaan yang baru diraih saat itu. Sebuah oase bagi kita yang haus akan pendidikan rohani.
Adalah Frans Szabo, pianis piawai berkebangsaan Hungaria, kami percayakan mengasuh serta mengelola YPM untuk pertama kalinya.
