Profile

Since 2013, the Asia Arts Festival (AAF) has provided a platform for
musicians and dancers from various genres to showcase their talents
before a distinguished panel of adjudicators. With over 2,600
participants from more than 20 countries, including Russia, Germany,
Scotland, and New Zealand, the festival fosters a supportive
environment where participants form lasting friendships and receive
trophies and certificates. Founded by Francis Liew—an accomplished
choral director who has led award-winning school choirs since 1999
with a total of 36 national and international accolades—AAF is the
culmination of his 34-year musical journey and his vision to unite the
performing arts through a nurturing and inclusive platform.

In 2025, AAF proudly makes its debut in Indonesia, a country rich

with talent and artistic potential. AAF Indonesia aims to provide
easier access for local participants to compete, explore their abilities,
and build confidence—empowering them to grow and pursue
greater performance experiences on both national and international
stages.
