Snack on the freshest of greens and wood-fired pizza as you listen to the dreamy sounds of the Catskill Mountain Gamelan. It might be the food, or it might be the music, but either way, you'll be transported to a new and downright pleasant state. There will be dance music of Gamelan Geduh, the lyrical melodies of Sekar Ligar, and the rousing songs of Sekar Mawar. Ride your bike on the rail trail to get there, or drive on over…

Join us for a spring concert at Locust Grove in Poughkeepsie, a 200 acre estate designed for the famous inventor, Samuel Morse.  There will be Sundanese dance and song, and while you're there, walk the gorgeous grounds with historic gardens and Hudson River views.

Gamelan, dance and song return once more to the splendid setting of Opus 40, a landscaping paradise designed by artist Harvey Fite, for the second annual holistic healing festival in Saugerties, NY.  Walk the magnificent grounds while the gamelan plays on top of the world acclaimed 6.5 acre blue-stone sculpture.  Connect with local healers and psychics; let an acupuncturist work your points, take in a yoga class or meet with a massage therapist while the gentle sounds of Sunda soothes…

We return to one of our favorite places to play, a cafe in the woods on the Walkill Valley Rail Trail, with delicious organic food specializing in microgreens and yummy pizza.  Dance with us until dusk as the sounds of Sunda blend with the surrounding forest. Walk or bike ride on the trail to the venue, or park at the Stone Mountain Farm, Parking Lot A.  Weather-dependent...rain cancels this event.

We are thrilled to join Bard College's summer music festival honouring Mexican composer, Carlos Chávez. We join the 6th evening event entitled "East and West" with other exciting chamber ensembles. Sekar Mawar will perform two pieces by Lou Harrison with guest artists on viola and french horn: Threnody for Carlos Chavez and Main Bersama-sama.  A pre-concert talk begins at 7:30pm, with the concert to start at 8pm.

This year we participate in the 3rd Annual Kingston Fetival of the Arts, joining the myriad of chamber music ensembles that pop up all over the city of Kingston, from gamelan to opera on the Hudson. Join us at the Church d'es Artistes, an artist's haven and B&B in a renovated church in the historic waterfront district.  We'll perform both classical and popular repertoire as we explore Sundanese music by Indonesian and American composers.
