Gamelan Madu Sari Concert in memory of Pak Cokro
A Vancouver Community Gamelan/Western Front presentation
Admission $12 general, $10 students/seniors
Gamelan Madu Sari will be honouring their first teacher, the late K.R.T. Wasitodiningrat (affectionately known to his many students as Pak Cokro) in a concert featuring traditional Javanese court music and dance and contemporary compositions. This concert will feature classical gamelan pieces, as well as contemporary works by ensemble members Sutrisno Hartana, Michael O’Neill, Ben Rogalsky, Andrew Czink and Mark Parlett. Kenneth Newby’s piece “Symmetry,” partly inspired by the bell-ringing tradition of English churches, will be premiered in its multi-media version, with live computer-animated abstract visuals by Aleksandra Dulic
