| Kembang Sunda |
Kembang Sunda, a San Diego based gamelan ensemble that performs traditional Sundanese music from West Java, Indonesia, will perform at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 23 at the Cuyamaca College Performing Arts Theatre.
The group specializes in gamelan degung music, but has also been exploring gamelan salendro and kacapi suling repertoire.
Gamelan ensembles developed in the ancient courts of Java and Bali, and primarily consist of tuned bronze percussive instruments. Many different dance and vocal styles are accompanied by gamelan ensembles, as well as puppet plays and important ceremonies.
The group's mission is to entertain, educate and expose an international audience to the beauty and diversity of Sundanese music and culture. Kembang Sunda, directed by Amy Hacker, has performed throughout Southern California since 2007.
Tickets are $8 general admission, and $5 for students, staff and seniors. For more information, visit www.cuyamaca.edu/performingarts
