Tell a friend and bring friends!  In fact bring the whole family to this enchanting evening with Gamelan Sekar Jaya, in the intimate ambiance and comfort of the sensational music and arts venue located in El Cerrito High School.  Ticket prices are very friendly, and every dollar supports this special series of musi-cultural events, keCg radio, and the music education program at El Cerrito High.

Sekar Jaya presents an exciting program of new and traditional works for gamelan and dance, including pieces for gamelan semarandana, Bali’s innovative seven-toned orchestra of bronze metallophones, tuned gongs & bamboo flutes, (GSJ has the only such ensemble in the western United States); and gamelan angklung, the ethereally sweet four-toned ensemble that is often associated with temple ceremonies in Bali. The forty-plus musicians and dancers will be led by I Dewa Putu Berata (Guest Music Director of GSJ) and Emiko Saraswati Susilo (Guest Dance Director & Company Director), both internationally renowned artists, and long-time directors of Gamelan Çudamani, a leading arts organization based in Pengosekan, Bali.
