Jakarta, 2 November 2025, radarindonesia.com
— The Maria Monique Last Wish Foundation (MMLWF) is set to hold the international charity concert “100 Celebrities Talk for Para Athletes (100 CTFP)” for the first time in Indonesia. This marks the foundation’s 18th charitable event, following a series of initiatives that have gained wide international media attention.
Preparations began when Natalia Tjahja, founder of MMLWF, was warmly welcomed by Vincent Yap, General Manager of the five-star Sari Pacific Hotel Jakarta, who generously donated the hotel’s ballroom for the event.
The concert date was finalized in coordination with Major General Wandee Tosuwan, Secretary-General of the ASEAN Para Sports Federation, and Dwiki Dharmawan, Indonesia’s music maestro and longtime MMLWF supporter.
Wandee previously attended the Singapore launch of 100 CTFP, which was also graced by Indonesian Ambassador Suryopratomo, Dr. Teo-Koh Sock Miang (President of NPC Singapore), Leslie Lee (Secretary-General of NPC Singapore), Kelly Fan (Executive Director of SDSC), and members of the Ferrari Owners Club Singapore.
100 CTFP was introduced with three messages of encouragement from Andrew Parsons, President of the International Paralympic Committee.
The collaboration between Natalia Tjahja and Dwiki Dharmawan is not new. Since 2011, the two have worked together on various global music projects — with Natalia as the composer and Dwiki as the music arranger. Their joint works include “My Brave Hero” for the children of Haiti, “Return of the Ring” for Prince William & Kate Middleton, “S for E” as the English theme song for the ASEAN Para Games in Solo, and the “Anthem of the Asian Paralympic Committee” representing 45 countries across Asia.
From Hollywood, Jahna and Michael are the first international artists to confirm their participation — performing free of charge.
Jahna, a singer often compared to Gloria Estefan and a Golden Buzzer winner on America’s Got Talent, is a key member of Vortex Immersion Media, the company known as the executive producer behind Beyoncé’s projects. She will also walk the red carpet at the 2026 Berlin International Film Festival for her upcoming film Lear Rex.
Meanwhile, Michael, a legendary Hollywood filmmaker, will accompany Jahna in her performance. His extensive filmography includes The Matrix, Tulsa King, The Angriest Man in Brooklyn, and Lear Rex, alongside Sylvester Stallone and Al Pacino. He also produced the documentary Rooted in Peace, featuring Deepak Chopra, Mike Love, and CNN founder Ted Turner.
“I was speechless,” said Natalia. “Their house was completely destroyed by fire, yet their spirit to take part in this charity concert remains extraordinary.”
Also joining the lineup is a young Taiwanese singer whose appearance resembles Xing Fei, the leading actress in Miss Crow with Mr. Lizard.
Natalia emphasized that more international singers from various countries will be announced as the concert approaches.
The event is non-commercial, with tickets reserved exclusively for generous donors and inspirational individuals.
Between 100 and 200 seats will be dedicated to people with disabilities, orphans, and children suffering from chronic illnesses. “They are the true VIP guests of this concert,thank God” Natalia added.
Support also comes from Maki, a renowned Japanese painter whose works have been exhibited at Le Salon alongside world masters such as Renoir, Monet, Delacroix, and Cézanne. Maki has donated two paintings to support the concert.
MMLWF has also received complimentary sound and lighting support from Lotus Productions through the kindness of Sylvia Hendarto. Both names will be immortalized as major donors at Maria Monique Happy Room–107, a play space dedicated to children with disabilities and chronic illnesses.
In the coming weeks, Natalia is scheduled to meet with a teenage singer descended from King Rama IV of Thailand, known as the “angel voice,” to discuss her participation in the charity concert, which will take place on January 31, 2026.
