Sardi (musician)

Mas Sardi (December 1910 – 21 October 1953) was an Indonesian composer and musician notable for being the country's first professional music supervisor. He and his wife Hadidjah were the parents of Citra Award-winning musician Idris Sardi.

Biography

Sardi was born in Yogyakarta, Dutch East Indies, in December 1910. He was educated at a Lagere School, but also studied the violin with his father, the leader of the Norma Orchestra in the palace of Sultan Hamengkubuwono VII. Sardi was later sent to study with other men, including one named Fernando and another named Jonocy; the latter of the two was the leader of an orchestra which played at the local society building. Sardi played for Jonocy, but eventually left to tour Central Java with Kunstkring; he would sometimes lead the orchestra at the Sultan's palace, if his father was unavailable.

In 1936 Sardi migrated to Jakarta to join the Faroka troupe, whose members included Roekiah and her husband Kartolo. He transferred to the Sweet Java Opera in 1937. By 1939 he had married Hadidjah and had a son, Idris. That year he was asked by The Teng Chun of Java Industrial Film to join the company as a music director. Sardi accepted the offer, becoming the first professional music supervisor in the Indies. Hadidjah, meanwhile, was signed as an actress.
