Gamelan Sari Pandhawa

Listen

Gamelan Sari Pandhawa has performed in many venues throughout the pacific northwest including concerts, festivals, schools, art galleries, and cultural events. Our repertoire includes traditional and contemporary music (by both Javanese and American composers) in a variety of styles, ranging from poetic songs to ceremonial court repertoire.

Traditional Javanese performances

The group performs two styles of traditional repertoire: a large ensemble suitable for stage and outdoor events; and a smaller group which emphasizes the softer, subtler instruments, appropriate for intimate settings.
