Sarcouncil Journal of Arts and Literature Aims & Scope

Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly transformed the way art is practiced, particularly in the realm of choral performances, which typically require physical presence to be performed in front of the Indonesian audience for the purpose of providing encouragement during the pandemic. As a result, face-to-face performances have transitioned to a virtual format, presenting new challenges in achieving aesthetic and musical harmony. This study aims to focus on the choir “Indonesian Menyanyi”, a multicultural virtual choir project that has been successful in harmonizing aesthetic concepts. The research methodology used in this study is a qualitative approach that combines video analysis, in-depth interviews, and literature reviews. Additionally, the study incorporates the values of Pancasila as an ethical and aesthetic framework to enhance harmony in cultural diversity, emphasizing the importance of cultural context and national values in achieving aesthetic harmony in virtual choirs. The findings of this study provide critical insights for the development of virtual choir practices during the pandemic that integrate Pancasila values and support inclusive aesthetic harmony.
