On First Friday, September 3rd, Gallery5's Lucent Phoenix Gallery will present:
Indonesian Music In Richmond
Opening Reception: 7PM-11PM, On display until September 25th
(The Lucent Phoenix is located downstairs at Gallery5)
Gamelan is a form of traditional Indonesian music that is performed in a wide range of settings, from sacred temple ceremonies, to village concerts, dances and wayang (shadow puppet) performances. Using gongs, drums, metallophones, and cymbals, Gamelan creates a dynamically rich sound that is distinct from that of western musics. The University of Richmond has its own community Gamelan ensemble, Gamelan Raga Kusuma, which is directed by Professor Dr. Andrew McGraw.
This summer, Gamelan Raga Kusuma was presented with the opportunity to travel through the islands of Java and Bali, Indonesia and perform alongside New York-based Gamelan Dharma Swara and other local Gamelans. While there, eight members of the group documented their experiences through photography, field recordings, and video.
Their work will be on display at Gallery5 for First Friday, September 3, 2010. The ensemble will also have its instruments there to play and will provide information for how to join.
