“Gamelan Sekar Jaya returns to one of its favorite East Bay venues to offer up a scintillating performance of Balinese music and dance, complete with gongs, flutes, metallophones of bronze and bamboo, fluttering fingers, and the powerfully-determined expressions of golden-clad dancers. Falling on the heels of Sekar Jaya’s summer tour to Bali, the ensemble’s artistry and focus has reached a great height, allowing the lyrical music and dance works to flow out unencumbered in joyful synchronicity. The ensemble, led by Emiko Saraswati Susilo (Company Director and Guest Dance Director) and I Dewa Putu Berata (Guest Music Director), will bring to the stage classic and contemporary works from Bali’s great traditions in this intimate family-friendly theater.
RCW presents Gamelan Sekar Jaya as part of its Island Arts Concert series featuring music from islands around the world on the island of Alameda. Gamelan Sekar Jaya will also perform as a part of RCW’s Performance Art and Learning program for 3rd and 4th grade students in the Alameda Unified School District as well as perform Island Arts Workshops with youth at the Alameda Music Project.”
