Two islands. One gong. Ten years. ๐ŸŽ‰ On May 24, Nusantara Arts celebrates a decade of gamelan in Buffalo with Two Islands, One Gong โ€” a matinee concert bringing together the bronze orchestras of Java and Bali, plus Balinese dance, live at Asbury Hall!
It started with a handbuilt iron gamelan from Karagan village in Solo, Central Java โ€” rough-hewn, well-loved, and tuned to its own standard.
Ten years later, Buffalo has two full bronze gamelan ensembles, one Javanese and one Balinese, and a community of musicians, dancers, and teaching artists that has made this one of the most unlikely homes for Indonesian performing arts in North America. Come hear why! โœจ
