Sekar Jaya at Yerba Buena Garden Festival -- May 15
The 65-performer Gamelan Sekar Jaya led by two master artists from Bali Ni Ketut Arini and I Gede Oka Artha Negara, features three large percussion orchestras: the bronze gamelan gong kebyar, the four-tone orchestra gamelan angklung, and the rare ensemble of bamboo marimbas, gamelan jegog.
LOCATION: Esplanade, 760 Howard St., San Francisco
The outdoor set-up reflects the open-air settings used in traditional Balinese contexts, where groups often play within or in front of temple courtyards. The audience is welcomed to enjoy the performance from multiple perspectives, to enjoy the complex interlocking rhythms and virtuosic ensemble sensibility of Balinese gamelan, and the myriad expressions and delicate hand and eye motions of Balinese dance. Narrated program.
Yerba Buena Gardens is a 2.5-block complex bordered by Mission, Folsom, 3rd and 4th Streets in San Francisco's SOMA District.
