Padma Musical Series 12 December 2026: Times, Tickets, Getting There

Padma Musical Series closes 2026 with British-Indonesian pianist George Harliono and Korean soprano Hera Hyesang Park on Saturday, 12 December 2026, in the Plumeria Grand Ballroom at Padma Resort Legian. Doors and bar open at 6pm, the concert starts at 7.30pm and is scheduled to end around 9pm, with tickets from IDR 500,000 to 1.5 million on Megatix.

We checked these details on 22 October 2026 against the Megatix ticket page and the NOW! Bali event listing. Harliono won silver at the 17th International Tchaikovsky Competition and has played this series before. Park records for Deutsche Grammophon and has sung at the Metropolitan Opera; the organiser bills this as her Bali debut. The programme has not been announced yet.

Ticket prices: two sources, two numbers

• Megatix (checked 22 October 2026): Bronze IDR 500,000, Silver IDR 700,000, Gold IDR 1,000,000, Platinum IDR 1,500,000. All categories still on sale.
• Megatix discounts: 20% off for BCA card holders, 40% off Bronze seats bought with a student ID.
• NOW! Bali: says "from IDR 400,000 nett" with limited early-bird seats, plus reader code nowbali25 for 25% off. The IDR 400,000 figure is probably a past early-bird price; the amount shown at checkout is what counts.

The night, hour by hour

• 4.30pm Leave by now if you are coming from Canggu, Ubud or Nusa Dua. Saturday evening traffic on Jalan Legian and Jalan Padma is heavy; the airport is only about 10 km away but the drive can take 40-60 minutes.
• 6pm Doors and bar open. NOW! Bali says food and drinks are sold before the show and at the interval. Eat first, since the concert runs about 90 minutes.
• 6.30pm Mid-December sunset in Bali falls around now; Legian Beach is right in front of the resort.
• 7.15pm Head into the ballroom and find your seat category.
• 7.30pm Concert starts. Phones on silent, no camera lights.
• Interval The bar and toilet queues peak here; get your drink as soon as the break is called.
• 9pm Expected finish per Megatix. Set your Grab or Gojek pickup at the resort lobby, not on narrow Jalan Padma.

Getting there and parking

Padma Resort Legian is at Jl. Padma No. 1, Legian, and ride-hailing cars can drive up to the lobby. The ticket page says nothing about parking for concert-goers, so if you are driving, ask the resort when you book. If you would rather skip Saturday-night Legian traffic altogether, staying the night at the resort or a hotel near Jalan Padma is the easiest plan, and Legian hotel vouchers are listed on AccessiaPass. Read our Padma Resort Legian stay guide, and if you want to arrive early, the resort spa takes outside guests. The next night brings Bjorn Again at BNDCC Nusa Dua, so the weekend can hold two concerts.

Practical info

• Location: Plumeria Grand Ballroom, Padma Resort Legian. View on Google Maps
• Tickets: online at Megatix (search "George Harliono"). No source mentions door sales.
• Instagram: search Padma Musical Series on Instagram
• Status as of 22 October 2026: date confirmed for 12 December 2026, all ticket categories on sale.

One honest caveat: with no programme published, anyone buying for a particular opera aria cannot be sure it will be sung. A hotel ballroom is also not a concert hall, so sound in the back rows depends on the night's audio setup.

FAQ

Is there a dress code? Neither Megatix nor NOW! Bali lists one. Smart casual is safe for a hotel ballroom; skip the beach flip-flops.

Can I bring children? The ticket page lists no age limit. A 90-minute classical concert needs quiet sitting, so it suits children who are used to live performances.

Who else played the series in 2026? According to NOW! Bali's event archive, Padma Musical Series 2026 featured Joey Alexander with Dira Sugandi in June and violinist Iskandar Widjaja in August.
