Back to Nature: Javanese Gamelan Music at Dusk Under a Fall Sky
Moonlight Monarch Ranch
Aurora, NY 14127
For the very first time, Nusantara Arts steps outside of the city, inviting you to an evening of Javanese gamelan music and relaxing merriment on a private estate in Aurora, just 20 minutes from Buffalo. The Javanese gong orchestra gathers beneath a grand open-air pavilion with fields and the fall sky as a backdrop. This is a klenengan, the intimate listening tradition of central Java, playing a full cycle of music that carries the evening from dusk into the late hours, joined by incredible guest artists: singer Heni Savitri and master musician Midiyanto. It's a night paced leisurely and beautifully, so come when you want, even late, and settle in.
