The first half of the performance will be devoted to the elegant 5-tone Sundanese chamber ensemble known as Degung, featuring lyrical melodies and soft bamboo flute. The second half features a full 7-tone Pelog gamelan, played to accompany the vigorous and exciting Javanese Topeng masked dancing of Cirebon.

This is a rare opportunity to see these two dynamic and creative artists.

Anna Born in the mountains of West Virginia (1982) studied dance and music at the Kacirebonan Palace in Cirebon, West Java. She has performed in events ranging from rural village rituals to appearances on Indonesian TV.

Eru Rukandi Born in the mountains of West Java (1969) began studying music with his father before he could talk, and after graduating from a university specializing in performing arts, he has been sharing traditional and collaborative Indonesian music with audiences around the world.
