Gamelan Orchestra- Yowana Sari

Tuesday, August 2, at 7:00pm

Welcome to this performance of the Queens College-based Gamelan, Yowana Sari. Yowana Sari is a Gamelan (orchestra) from the island of Bali. The music and dance performed by the group is made up traditional Balinese masterpieces and newer compositions (kreasi baru). All of the 25 members of the ensemble play on a collection of percussive metallophones (gangsas and reyongs) and flutes (sulings). The artistic director and teacher of the group is Queens College faculty member I Nyoman Saptayana. Pak Saptayana received his music degree from the famous music school in Denpasar, STSI. The group is co-directed by Professor Michael Lipsey, another faculty member from the Aaron Copland School of Music. The group meets on Tuesday evenings and is open to the public.
